The K and T are very similar. I surmise that it's based on the J, which wasn't an Ever Ready design apart from the package. The Sky Queen is essentially a D*96 125mA version of the K. There are cosmetically at least three versions of the K. Only minor circuit changes.
The T had many changes including incompatible 50mA series valves and the very last version is essentially the Sky Queen with 25mA valves. The Sky Prince replaced the last version of the T and is really the same chassis.
I think the K, T, Queen etc chassis design was Ever Ready's best MW/LW battery model and the longest in production chassis, with variations. Model K to Sky Lord. The Sky Lord seems to have still been retailed in 1961, though the Sky Captain was the last valve model. Early model T sets had a brass button to switch on scale illumination.
The C is poorly laid out compared to the 5214 / Model A or the later K/T/Queen/Prince etc.
I've a fair few more Ever Ready/Lissen than I've uploaded to the Radiomuseum. I've been writing rather than radioing.
