Hmm,
Very interesting.
Thanks for the links and the circuit diagram Paul, it all makes sense now.
Although the switch symbols are a little foriegn.
There were some versions of the 746 here that were wall-mounted and they had small metal hooks that held the reciever in place when the phone was not in use.
Yes you are right about the two-tone gray phones, these were the standard office phone, in just about every TV programme or movie made here at the time, you can see one of these phones somewhere in the room. [Linked Image]
The phone that I pictured above is now surplus to requirements here, I removed it about 2 years ago when I upgraded the phone system here at home and ran the system in Cat 5e wire and installed RJ-11 jacks in my office, the lounge and my bedroom.

Your phone has the later single-coil ringer, Does it have the bell adjuster on the front too?
Ahh no it doesn't have one as far as I'm aware.
Speaking of odd variations, I'm all for nice decoration, but isn't this taking things a tad too far?:
