I don’t think I’ve seen one with a magneto instead of a dial.

That is a military field phone from WWII. Something the HQ would have in the command tent or further back from the front. You'd crank that know and get the operator to connect you to the front or someplace else. Think M.A.S.H when they would ring up Sparky to connect them to the states or Toyko.

That makes sense. EE-8 in the field, and the commander has a real phone on the desk at field HQ.
