I looked at the photos one last time. I think the 70 cm antenna is a KLM based on the number of elements. Cushcraft is 38 elements and KLM is 40.

Hi John,
The 70 cm antenna could be Cushcraft, but I think the 2M is KLM because of the configuration of driven elements. Folded dipole vs T match.

I have a set of older Cushcraft antennas that meet that criteria: 738XB and 22XB. Both have polarity switching but the 435 ant has the box on the rear. I have manuals for both.

2M looks like a KLM 22c with polarity switcher 70 cm looks like a KLM 40cx with polarity switcher 1.2 G looks like a Tonna (F9FT?) http://www.f9ft.com/indexe.html
I agree with Mike, N1JEZ. The KLM's were the only one with the big box polarity switcher on the end of the 440 boom. The 144 unit was not covered but an open circuit board with lots of exposed phasing wires.
In fact looks exactly like mine except mine have the F9FT in the middle of the boom. If you need copies of the KLM manuals let me know .....
