Default Help Please to identify this old ex WD "Receiver"

Hi, I've recently purchased what looks like an old Ex WD unit, with no
identity plates, and I'd really like to identify it, I'm sure its a
receiver though it could be a converter of some description, quite
large front panel 280 by 170mm 300mm deep, centre left of the front
panel are three controls marked Aerial RF and Oscillator, each having a
little window that clicks round 0 to 9, to the right is a paxolin
panel with test points marked V1 to V10, bottom of panel sockets left
to right marked RF input, Output, Power Input, Gain control, inside the
three front panel controls connect to what looks like a front end box
which held two valves marked VR138 and VR137, there are then six IF
cans with a single coil inside and six valve holders alongside marked
VR65 , something is missing from the top front of the front panel that
once connected to the "front end" also right hand side of chassis has a
socket marked IF, The "front end coils look about 30-40 mhz (guess) and
the IF coils about 7-10mhz another guess, I can send a pic to anyone
who thinks they know what it once was, thanks for looking, from Ron
