Apparently this type (TR28) was also used in Rhodesia - quote follows taken from the 'net -
"The original TR-28 model initial production batch was delivered to Rhodesia military forces in 1967, followed by South African and Portuguese military forces.
The TR-28 series operates on HF AM/SSB for voice and morse, from 2 to 8 MHz (selectable channels frequencies by installing sets of crystals) at a maximum transmitter power of around 25 Watt (SSB). The removable 12VDC NiCd battery pack (10 x 1.2V "D" size cells) was part of the radio enclosure, attached to the main unit by clamps. The battery pack could be recharging while the radio was being used by connecting it to the car electrical system. Various antenna types were designed including a whip to use the radio while walking.
The later TR-28 versions featuring up to 36 channels were developed with the Portuguese cooperation (Standard Electrica and military forces) to RACAL South Africa. The later portuguese version had the label "Exercito Portugues" stamped on the front."
