Fitted to Series 2 and early Series 2A till about 1964/65 (early Vietnam)
Also fitted to Ferret, Saracen and Saladin plus Centurian tank.

The radio system is called Larkspur (British)  The set on the table is a C42 or C45.
Similiar radios which work on slightly different range of frequencies in the VHF range.

Square box on the left is the 24volt power transformer.  Box on top mounts on front mudguard
of Rover and contains the Antennae turning unit.  Rectangular box on right is a junction box
to attach the headsets to.
