Most likely the radios would have been after-market. The radios were
valve radios (most were two very bulky and heavy units with the
amplifier/power supply often fitted in the engine compartment) until the
mid/late '50's, followed by radios with valves and transistors combined
(most still two units but less bulky and fitted inside the cabin) and
the full transistor radio was introduced from about 1960 (one unit).
Nearly all were AM but there were some radios with FM from the mid '50's
(e.g. Telefunken, Becker, Blaupunkt, Grundig, Philips). Nearly all these
radio's could be switched to the desired polarity and voltage.
Different radio's were supplied by the dealers in different countries
because of differences in the required band width.
It would be logical to find BMC radio's if dealer supplied, but Motora
may be another contender. These were all (mainly?) AM only.
