Our most active member Alan Larsen has given me the following answer to my questions regarding several "Penn C" (mainly P & M Radio Co. with a "Penn C") models and Pennsylvania companies:
 

I am doubtful there was a common thread between the 1920 P & M Radio Co. "Penn C" and the ~1924 Pennsylvania Wireless "Penn C" but have no proof. If I had a choice between the two models I would go for the 1920 version. Even though I have a few earlier Pennsylvania Wireless models.  I did discover an issue with the set when I just a simple search for "Penn C." We also have a Penn Radio Manufacturing Co. listed with another deLuxe model with Penn C pictures uploaded to it. 
 
I don't why or how we have the Penn Radio Mfg. Co. Did the Pennsylvania Wireless Mfg. Co. change their name to Penn Radio? Don't know. I am sure the auctioned Penn C was a Penn. Wireless set do to the metal tag as well as the lid label. I would also guess that the pictures listed under the Penn Radio deluxe are of the same radio. It would have been nice to have a closeup picture of the lid label on that set.
 
I will leave it up to you to figure out what to do with the Penn Radio models. I would probably leave the company (It came from somewhere) and add a note to see the Penn. Wireless Mfg. Co. since there is apparently a connection between the two companies however I doubt there is a connection to the earlier P & M Radio.
