A.R.C. did make single TX and RX racks/mounts for ATA/ARA,
on contract Nos-74912, as well as a single RX control box.

They are at least "Scarce" and may be authentically "Rare" since, 
in a lifetime of hunting, I have seen two of the receiver mounts/shocks
and one each of the other parts.  Since they're not listed
in any of the original manuals and documentation,
it's a good bet they were later additions.

One of our members has the only one I've ever seen.
I have the 4-TX for the SCR-274N in black, which I got in
trade for an unpainted one NIB.  I also have a replica
shock mount, thanks to the kindness of another of our members ;-).
