Does anyone recognize this type of connector from wartime wireless equipment?

I believe it was used by STC when they built the Wireless Set No. 9 in England. It was certainly used by the Canadian Marconi Company when they built the Wireless Set No. 9 and later Wireless Set No. 52. CMC also used it for several other wireless sets, including some designed for use by the Navy.

What I would like to determine is if this was a connector originally designed by STC in England and subsequently copied by other companies as needed, or if it was a standard electronics item made by a third party company somewhere and purchased by STC and CMC for their production needs.
