From studying the pictures:

That lot included a couple of rare museum pieces from WW2 - a British Spy set Tx (as supplied to the French Resistance etc) and a German Army portable set, along with some more common items.

Lot 3381 contained two more spy sets which explains the £1400 hammer price.

I'm sure the buyers will have been very happy with the prices, even after the premium was added.

Lot 3357, an apparent pile of nondescript bits and pieces, also included a spy set Tx.

At least the collection didn't get cleared into skips and scrapped, which often happens in similar situations.

Hi Dave, you obviously did'nt clock lot lot #3350, a MK128 RX-TX with it's case door a-jar along with an AR88 & a few other goodies,not a proper spy set,more clandestine that would of been used & hidden away in U.K Embassies for emergencies, still worth £300 all day long as i have sold a few.
