Try Canadian sites as it is more common in Canada than USA> also based on this article (2nd link) it seems it was used as backpack or vehicular mount. It didn't say which but WS radios were mounted in small vehicles. Jeeps etc.

Those two sets of three holes in the webbing padding fit over the screws that secure the four metal angled pieces for the 19 set and PSU to the woodwork on a no 23 carrier
