I have here a generator and control box that came direct from an MoD vehicle repairer as a pair. The control box is a CAV type 141 and looks like the type fitted to 15 cwt wireless trucks e.g. MWR. The generator is a CAV DW7X8X, which I know were fitted to QLR. On the face of it, then this is a pair for MWR or QLR.
What's throwing me is that I thought the MWR generator was D5LA-26X, and the control box says 'for D5LA-26X' on it; and I thought the QLR generator was belt driven, while this one is shaft driven. I don't, unfortunately, have any books that cover QLR or MWR.

Can anyone shed any light?
