Parts for a Black WE stick

Is it possibly a 20CM (converted to 20AL)? The 20CM originally had a transmitter cutout button on the handle.

I zoomed in on the image and played around with it a little.

Looks like it reads 20CN, crossed through.   20AL stamped underneath.

Finally found 20CN in TCI Library: It was used with 10A Key Equipment for Amplified Receiver. It had a 5-conductor cord, because of extra hookswitch contacts.

BSP Section C65.103, Issue A, 5-20-37, N. Y. Tel. Co. Manh.

20CN was also used with the "No. 1 Residence System and No. 2 P.B.X."
