That's definitely a MN-26 control box on the right.  I don't know what
the box is to the left.

The unit above the MN-26...I've seen somewhere before.  Didn't Canada have
some aircraft transmitters (AT-??) that look like what's pictured?

Two versions of the MN-26 had a communications band in place of the third
RDF band.

MN-26LB - Band 3 is 2.9 to 6.0 MHz. The AN/ARN-11 was a MN-26LB.
MN-26Y  - Band 3 is 3.7 to 7.0 MHz (IIRC.  I'm going from memory.)
