I don't see lights, but painted squares. Have to double check that scene again.

I agree, I could not find an insulator or bypass filter with that shape. Looks like an insulator, but smells like made upI've looked at a bunch of antennas over the last few days and haven't seen a match.
I think the antenna design is meant to look like an insulator, but is actually just greeblies.
It's a plain telescoping antenna, maybe Realistic or some other brand that collapses into a stacked cone shape.
The other two added cones might be a cable stop or shaft collar. Piece shown here is a cord grip used to secure the end of an electrical cord (side hole is for a plastic set screw).
Hard to tell what the top piece could be. I assume they snipped the original top off to slide the cone pieces on and stuck on a new greeblie.
PS - I wasn't sure if I was going to make this prop, but picked up a single walkie in new condition for $7.50

Sorry I should have said lenses, they could be square push switches, from the sides it looks quite thick, but I may be overthinking it, could always just be a block with tiles glued on.
They like the buttons.. I bet these are the same buttons on the yellow flash light
I have a thing for flash lights.. especially old aluminum ones

Surprised no one has mention Fern's rucksack?
IT looks similar to the cheap canvas ones you can get online.
I noticed it because I used one for the basis of my own backpack.
Some slight differences, so maybe it's been built from scratch, altering the design? It's got a bigger main flap, but keeps the side pockets and looks like more rugged fabric.
I love a good Star Wars bag...

The walkie antenna appears to only be connected by one wire — makes me think that replacing it with a telescoping version, it might be possible to preserve functionally.
(Also, I removed and am currently scanning the metal label plate flat so that we have a 1:1 scale template to work from for the replacement graphic. Stand by.)

Here's the metal label scan from the front of the walkie. (Should be 1:1 scale at 600dpi, if I didn't mess up anything.) I'll be working up my own version of the replacement label graphic (using the internal Disney/LFL aurebesh font) and sharing here, but anyone else feel free to take a swing based on this.

Looks like my grandfathers ladybug flip cell phone..
My only hangup (see what I did there) is that it looks to me like, assuming it's a phone, each half of the clamshell are the same. It's like two tops of a phone were used. Am I making sense?

Reminds me of those weird sunvisor clips that hold a pair of sunglasses, too. But it also screams “Motorola!”
Oh shoot yes!!
