FFW is Fitted For Wireless - an older term for FFR = Fitted for Radio.

If the Pig has the big two gears alternator with a lot of wires hanging around in the interior it´s possible a radio command vehicle.

Roland broadly speaking yes. But it is more than just a more modern term. FFR was a specific conversion introduced in 1964 that could be done to convert FFW to FFR.

 

FFW was the original wireless Pig, whereby a wireless set was installed into the Pig. FFR was a more comprehensive upgrade whereby racking was fitted allowing a more comprehensive installation to be fitted in a more modular fashion.

 

With this FFR upgrade came an additional antenna mount. All Pigs were made with three antenna mounts. Two on the left side & one on the right. On upgrade to FFR a fourth mount was made by REME to go on the rear right side. That is why this mount never is quite as good looking as the other three.

Well its a dynamo. The easiest think to do is look at the top of the dynamo & see if there is a hole about 1.5 in diameter with course mesh over it mounted halfway along the upper part of the dynamo when you look down on it. If that is present your Pig is FFW/FFR & has the Generator No.2. If not is is an APC & has the Generator No.1.
