The ad in Post #3 was 1963...
At the time this would have been expensive and so only well heeled private pilots.

More likely small air operators. I would guess airlines as such would be happy to use separate COM and NAV sets, probably different crew responsible. I don't know...

Pye mic is of the right era - but wrong! My local airfield was still running a Pye Cambridge in the 1990's. Their frequency had never changed so nor had the rig.
