Indeed I have added this frame recently to the collection. It is based on an original relic recovered from Hill 112 in Normandy:

This particular radio setup was only used in very few command halftracks used by divisional commanders and upwards. Here is picture of Harmel's command Halftrack in Normandy which would have contained a setup just like this:

As far as we know potentially only one command halftrack of this type was destroyed in the area. Many vehicles of the HQ of Panzergruppe West were destroyed during the raid on la Caine on June 10th 1944 which probably included Geyr von Schweppenburg's command halftrack. Not just a radio setup, but quite an interesting bit of history...
