Ever Ready / BEREC Export Radio models using the same or very similar chassis. The BEREC Skyscraper and Skyscraper L26 vary in wave bands. Otherwise the differences are very minor (Harlequin doesn't have Sky Casket "closed" alarm as it's a completely different cabinet) and same schematic serves. Some Models such as BEREC Demon have both versions with an Ever Ready style case and a differently styled case. Neither the Sky Emperor or Berec Commander have LW
Since BEREC was for Export versions the two versions of "J" (Saucepan) were likely only marketed outside UK, and by BEREC.
