HH, it's often pretty easy to recognize the radio heads designated for rear armrest installation on models with a divider by the size of the head. Also easy to spot if you look under models so-equipped - you'll see what appears to be a second battery box hanging down from the frame in the area beneath the rear seat - that's the box for the "works". Radio heads that were mounted in the divider rather than the armrest were perhaps different - I have some photos somewhere.

No doubt the demand for those rear compartment sets was quite small so it seems likely a standard head was modified to fit the arm rest by someone though I doubt the coachbuilder did it. The head was covered with a rather elegant fascia, often wood to match the rest of the rear trim work.
