May not be 100%
Insane
I'd bet the letters obscured by the white rectangle aren't CM but rather CO, with a DE next to it and a Y below it next to the KE, as in CODE KEY like on the stock GE walkie talkie!

This little one is on exhibit at LFL headquarters...maybe someone could go and take great photos. I would love to create a conversion kit to 3d print. I scored a pair last week. They will take a while to arrive to Argentina, but there is a 3d model from the walkies already there to print or use as base.

Quick and dirty draft of a replacement label:
It's not screen accurate - in fact there's some details intentionally wrong because I might not do a full accurate conversion. Hoping to get my hands on a walkie some point soonish, though - real measurements should help with design. And maybe we'll see more reference images, too.

If anyone is visiting Lucasfilm closeup of the walkie would be greatly appreciated

Awesome, I'll be keen on some files, I was going to hand sculpt the antenna piece but now I'll wait as I'm waiting on a pair coming

When I saw that little guy I thought that he looked very familiar.I already have my first Skeleton Crew Collectable.

It was like he was brand new. But I’d seen him somewhere else too.
Thank you.
Though I referred to it as a him, it could be a lady creature as well.

They are some sort of antenna insulators.

I'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
