Help Identifying a handset picked up at the swap meet.

I am hoping that someone can help me identify this handset I picked up at the swap meet yesterday. If you do recognize the piece what is the secret of taking the mouth piece off for cleaning? Thanks for any and all help.

The mouthpiece appears to be a normal screw off type, similar to a WE E1. Maybe try heating it up a little with a heat gun or hair dryer. Also a strap wrench will usually remove almost any stuck caps.

Thanks Harry for the tips, I should have posted this image as well. I am curious about the pin hole on the mouth piece.

The hole in the last picture is for introducing a pin, which depresses a spring which releases the mouth piece.
