I think the equipment you are on about was the Blind Approach Beacon System which was around at the end of the War and had a vertical timebase for range markers. "BABS homings and letdowns" were imprecise. Rebecca/Eureka took over the distance measuring and ILS took out the on board height read outs from the Nav.
