Markings on Iraqi BCC349 Transceiver

[John G.]

There must be someone who can "read" the writing/numbers on this British-made Racal BCC Transmitter-Reciever that was captured durning the 1st Gulf War....complete with carrier and much improvised but 100% original headset and throat
mikes.....The RED TRIANGLE is supposed to be REPUBLICAN GUARD if my research so far is correct.

Came with a well tattered Iraqi field Manual for Mortars (plus Ammo, fortifications, range scales, etc.)

Any help on the emblem and what it exactly represents would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Most of these characters are numbers....

If I remember correctly: '۲۸' = 28, '۱۰' = 10, '۱۹' = 19. There's also a letter, but I can't accurately recall what the nearest equivalent might be in English. It might be 'f'.

The British manufacturers of tactical radio equipments (ie. Racal, Marconi and Plessey), plus Thomson-CSF, now Thales (France) were the biggest suppliers to Iraq during the Iraq-Iran Gulf War.

I worked for Racal, was resident in Baghdad from 1982 to 1987 and spent much of that time repairing the BCC349 at the Al-Rasheed Military Camp, which was originally manufactured by the company at their Racal BCC (Wembley), Racal Seaton (Devon) and Racal Carlton (Worksop) factories.
