There's quite a few Pye sets. I've got the [rather large] A39J/BS. One site illustrates it's export version the PYE 41 [1951] sent to Kenya originally.
A search under Teleflic on here brings up the EBS44 thread plus more info on Bush export sets inc the EBS4/EU4 model I once had [1948]. It took maybe 15 years for FM to get established in the UK but I'm not sure that would have a direct relationship on the export market. It does seem likely that sets for export would have continued to be needed for quite a while longer though. Dave W

PS I believe those Murphy A92's were used at the beginning of WWII as the RF stage and BS was the nearest thing to a comm rx available at first.
