I do believe that you have the Dipole antenna that inserts into the
center of the parabolic "dish", which focuses the Radar beam in the same
way that a flashlight reflector focuses light. More specifically, it
looks like one from a fire control radar that used radar to direct navel
guns. On WW2 destroyers the gun fire director is above and just behind
the bridge. E-mail me and I’ll send you a photo. )
