Sorry, forgot to include the verbiage that went with the schematics: 
"C-38A Control Box:
To provide greater attenuation and control of the VHF audio output, 
modification of the C-38/ARC-5 control box has been directed by BuAer 
Technical Order No.63-45.  The modified unit is designated C-38A/ARC-5.  
Instructions for making the change are provided in the Technical Order."

A drawing of it is shown in the ARMN - shows the same base as used for 
the ARR-1 and ARR-2 antennas.  The drawing is associated with 
termination mods to increase its bandpass, so it was obviously used in 
the fleet.
