This picture won't be on ebay very long, but here is a link to a picture of the thing that looks like a coil that is hanging from the rear connector. This is on a 41-287, but the chassis looks very similar to the ones on the radios I mentioned.

That coil (or whatever it is) does look like it has screw terminals, maybe for an external antenna. It also looks like it is switched with the band switch, which would also make sense for an external antenna, like Terry said. So maybe it is a coil to match impedence for the external antenna.
