Can a T61 ( 14.1" standard ) have a wwan antenna. If yes can you please share a picture.
There are no openings on the sides of the lcd like a T60.

Yes. For a picture, look at the parts list in Lenovo's Hardware Maintenance Manual:

I have never seen a 4:3 T61 with WWAN, but they do exist. The HMM shows how the primary (red) wire runs behind the LCD panel. The 14" T60 has the sccondary (blue) antenna attach under the keyboard bezel, but I don't know about the T61. It may be the same, but it doesn't appear in the HMM.

I cannot tell. The part numbers they list are not numbers I can identify. They are the ones for the individual pieces. The antenna is only sold as a set. It is sort of like the numbers on the touchpad, which is not sold separately. I would need to see them up close. Also, I do not have a 4:3 T61 here to compare the pictures to. Sorry.

Yeah T61 also has the slot underneath the keyboard bezel to take the second antenna. Seems like the red one comes from behind the LCD.
where as the blue one goes under the keyboard.
