As best I can determine, NS702 was the MWT designation. and 2207C Atalanta was the MIMCO designation. MWT literature and advertising did not seem to mention the Atalanta name. Possibly those units that MWT made for MIMCO carried both MWT and MIMCO nameplates.

2207E looks like a MIMCO designation. But without the HF marine bands bandspread facility, would it still have met the GPO requirements for a ship’s main receiver? As a “left-field” suggestion, might it have been used as a shipboard broadcast receiver, in which case the E suffix might mean the “entertainment” version. In the 1950s MIMCO used Dynatron receivers for this purpose, particularly the Dynatron T139/LF512 combination known as the MIMCO 2235A. But such Dynatron models only ran until c.1959-60, after which MIMCO would have needed other solutions. Pressing the Atalanta, perhaps modified, into such service may have been one pathway.
