Yes that Varicap push button unit was used by Saba and ITT / KB on the CVC5 although the CVC5 lacked the band switches.
I also had lots of the 4 button version of this set out on rent all of them bought second-hand.
The button unit did get a little intermittent when the contacts tarnished, but most could be cured by cleaning the contacts and the connection where the rotor of the potentiometer contacted the common rail.
