Calling Tonka aircrew and squippers - PEC question

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm the designation of a version of the Mk12 PEC (Tornado) with a regular NATO socket for helmet comms instead of the LEMO connector?

I've so far only found documented evidence from 1975 and 1983 of the PECs with LEMO connectors, but a friend has two Tornado PEC's with NATO connectors.

See here for what I've found so far:

Why would you fly with NATO connector on the PEC and Helmet over a LEMO? Also, what is the PEC's Mk designation?

Many thanks, Scott
