Radio,radar and navigation equipment

I dont know if any one on the forum can help but here goes.Our aircraft had some very none standard and unusual equipment fitted in the nose in place of the normal radio set up.Its over 30 years ago so hopefully any classification has now expired.

All the instrumentation in the aircraft is loomed into these mounting trays the trays have RF fittings and computer fittings but the main one is not much bigger than that taken up by a radio cassette player for a car. The aircraft was used as a trials aircraft at RAE and also as a chase aircraft for the S2 Buccaneer prototype.

The only info we have is the following refernce numbers any thoughts/suggestions/leads greatly appreciated.

Mounting type 8288 10 AJ/1572
Mounting type 8289 10 AJ/1573
Mounting type 1031 10 AJ/2112
Mounting back plate 10 AR/6393
Corrector unit 10 D/20169

also all these items either above or below the above reference numbers also have the following group of characters.

( XX )
ANC

Again any suggestions appreciated.

The corrector unit is part of a Marconi AD722 ADF unit.
