This is the similar NAAFI set, but details are unknown. It doesn't match the "unknown" Magenta Time Radio description
Probably RAF and Army versions.MW, LW, SW bands and a separate "gram" volume control.
If anyone has more information let us know!
Here is a quite different Magneta NAAFI set
Magneta were actually owned by British Vacuum Cleaner better known as Goblin who made Vacuum cleaners and Teasmade appliances as well as the iconic Timespot Radio.
Magneta are most known for the factory time clock systems using cards.
