I think the handsets used on the Police / Fire RC690s (etc) were similar but with a PREH-type plug, which was fully shielded (no plastic bit sticking out at the end). Also think the Westminster-series mic plugs were the same...? Some earlier sets (Whitehall, Vanguard, Cambridge etc) used the larger 6-pin Painton plug. Same audio inserts though. Didn't the Mould Pegasus use an Amphenol handset connector, similar to the Clansman-type? If the connector on the handset in the photo has a screw-up securing ring, rather than a bayonet type, it looks like it would mate with the socket type on an amateur-type radio.
