Nice Red Cortelco Push Button Wall-phone

Just spotted these on ebay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-New-Red-Cortelco-Push-Button-Corded-Landline-Wall-Telephone/292686138230
If it wasn't for the high shipping to the UK I'd probably buy one as they look really nice.
One question though, how to you mount it as it looks like it needs a special wall plate?

I have a red Cortelco 2554, and when I first put it into use I just rewired it so I could connect it to a BT socket:

Though I did get a couple of the wall plate sockets eventually for it:

And eventually put the sliding plug back in to return it to its' original state...

Thanks twocvbloke - that all makes perfect sense.

No probs, though reading back, it does make me wonder where that other wallplate I bought is, never used it, and as with most of my stuff it seems to have disappeared into the ether...
