Hi, I’ve been through my references about the SM, SM-1 and SP antennas (mostly GMM, WEM and Pontos instructions) and it really is a mess because there is some confusion about which is the right one. I gather your bigger antenna has the shape of the SP, the late war lighter version of the SM. The smaller antenna should indeed be the SM. The SM-1 has the same antenna, but on its top has an IFF array. If I got it right the SM and the SP antennas should be of roughly the same size.
