Default Re: Elizabethan tape recorder. ID?

This has 2 clasps for the lid instead of a lock:
ELIZABETHAN 56
52 gns.
Tape Recording and Reproduction Magazine Sept 1957 Page 25

54 gns in March 1958 and the Essex is 75 gns:

Perhaps superseded by the new Elizabethan ESCORT which is advertised at only 45 gns in June 1958 page 5:

"A sound idea!" if you scroll down this:

Not identical but a lower price of 48 gns.
