As I have mentioned re the WS17, coaxial connections were well established during WWII. The Pye coax plug and socket are very well known. Presumably designed for the WS19, where I think it first appeared. It was then used all over the place, including on much radar gear.

The WS17 and R208 receiver have a different style of coax connector - no idea what its called. There were a myriad of different designs on naval and RAF kit - a mind boggling array in fact!
