Default Cossor 348 and 338

I am ready to start renovation of a 1930's Cossor receiver - however...
The radio has a cabinet identical to that found on the Model 338 (Battery) and Model 348 (Mains).
The radio chassis is mechanically identical to a Model 348.
Both these models however are LW/MW/SW with the SW operation being a single conversion superhet, LW and MW operation being a TRF (honest!).
My radio is LW/MW only, the dial clearly marked as such and selector switch does not have a SW position. It seems to be a TRF only.
It does however have a G (Gram) position on the selector switch and the back panel has a PU connector adjacent to the Antenna/Ground connection.
This is not present on the Model 338/348.
The valve line up is Pentode/Pentode/Tetrode (VP4A/VP4A/KT42 with a IW4/350 rectifier)
I have searched extensively but cannot discover a model number or circuit diagram.
Unfortunately the unit has no back, which would have been most useful.
Is there a Cossor expert out there who can lighten my darkness?

This sort of question always occurs when I am 100 miles or more away from my archive

I am out and about at the moment but have a look on www.cossor.co.uk and see if I have uploaded all those rogues yet

Cheers Mike T

I have a similar Cossor which defeated me to find the model number, similar to yours, Bob?
See my thread if it helps.
