WW2 British No.46 Wireless Set Battery Haversack (Special Forces)

An uncommon WW2 webbing haversack for housing & carrying the batteries for the No.46 wireless set, the No.46 set was designed in 1942 specifically for ''special forces'' especially for beach landing operations, the haversack is in good service used condition and still bears the correct ZA14892 code to the side of the pack, printed inside the top flap is different code (ZA 14869), there's also a faintly marked ''M E Co'' but bears no date as this pattern of haversack never were dated for some unknown reason.
The haversack is in good order with usual dirt/rub marks, couple of old securing hole in rear tabs (seen in images).
The large purpose made hole to the side is where the external mounted junction box was located, this was secured using four fixings that passed through the webbing to a purpose made internal ply board that held the heavy gauge cables/connectors for the batteries, board & wiring not present, haversack only.
A scarce item.
