Thanks reynoldsno1!
Searching Decca revealed an interesting thread right here on Pprune. http://www.pprune.org/archive/index.php/t-384288.html
BOAC's comment did give me a chuckle.

Imagine seeing that!

The thread also pointed me to this site which has lots of information about Decca and its systems.
Decca Navigator - Airborne Receivers and Indicators
I see they had a portable unit called the "Mini DECCA" Mk-18 but that was experimental and relied on a signal for positioning. I'm thinking their very first device (a plotter) was closer to the lines on what I have here.
Cheers, Stephen.
