I hadn't noticed that one, but I remember seeing a WW2 movie and they had a Hallicrafters SX-42 on there, which wasn't developed until AFTER the war!  A BC-348 would have been more realistic.
 
I suppose when a movie shows a funeral, the funeral directors that are watching notice what kind of casket is being used...
