I use one of these as our hall telephone, but it's an Ericsson PAX instrument I acquired from the BBC Kirk o' Shotts transmitter PAX system - far less exotic! Note that on the photo I have a lettered dial plate which is incorrect - I don't believe these telephones were ever sanctioned as a GPO instrument. I have since reverted to the original numeral-only dial plate.

The innards are just a 332 chassis and any conversion is identical.
