It’s certainly a possibility... It could also have been used with an amateur / commercial HF radio adopted for use by the military perhaps. The RAF used a number of re-badged different Icom HF radios. Or somethin else completely different! Just due to numbers it’s likely to be a (modified) ex-Police or Fire Service handset, they used thousands of these S G Brown (later Racal Acoustics) handsets. Unless the OP has more info I guess we will never really know...!
Cheers,
