Looking at my C-119/R4Q-1 pilot's manual I note that the Air Force version has ARC-3, ART-13A and BC-348-Q.  The Navy version has ARC-1, and ARC-8, which is described as an ART-13A and BC-348-E.  Both versions show the low freq oscillator installed.  But the Navy added an LM-14 Freq Meter and apparently also had an ARC-2 installed at the navigator's station.

Apparently both versions had an two ARN-7's and APN-1.  The Navy had an APN-4 LORAN set while the Air Force had an APN-9 or 9A.
