Below is a picture of a console with a couple radios and other items. Can somebody help in identifying the two radios pictured?
This picture is low res for web use, If somebody needs a higher res picture let me know and I can send it via email or what ever.
Thanks

The blue radio at the bottom, just above the Federal Sig controller, is a Maxon.
The other radio at the top, just above the Vascar, also looks like a Maxon, though
the name is obscured by the coiled cable.

The radio at the top is one of those low-tier dash mount GE mobiles actually made by (I think) Uniden and sold by GE during the Ericsson transition years. Can't recall the model name, if there was one, but they show up frequently on eBay these days. Has a blue vacuum fluorescent display.
I used to think things got rusty in storage after they were pulled from the police cars. Looking at the screws on that Vascar unit, seems I was wrong--they rust right in the car...

The top one is a ge, made by maxon, the bottom is the same radio, probably different band, but it is the maxon branded product. The Ge may have been called the Monogram...

The radio on the top that has the wording obscured by the coiled cord say
Communications
At the beginning of that word is the typical GE logo.
So, if I where to guess and take your guys suggestions, both of these radios could possibly be of the GE Monogram series.
I know the bottom one is a Maxon...but was not sure about the top one...both they both look identical except for the color.
Thanks for the help
Edit: I just did a google image search for GE Monogram and found a picture locacted here

These radios could possbily be the
GE MONOGRAM SERIES & MAXON SM-4000 SERIES

The GE model is a Monogram MGM series. The Maxon is an SM-4000EX series. The GE and Maxons versions of these radios are identical except for the logo and nameplate.
