The SB2C and TBM both carried ART-13s, usually with ARB receivers, while the
SBD carried a GP-7 with all its TUs which was no light weight.  (It was
mated to an RU Rx, also with several coil sets.)  This latter rig went into
the initial orders for the TBF before Grumman handed production over to GM's
Eastern Air(name?) division so they could build fighters.  IRRC, the TBD
also carried the GP/RU combination although which marks I don't know.
