Over at Zeno's Warbird Videos they have a free showing of a WWII training film on aerial reconnaissance.

The main focus of the film is the photo recon version of the A-20, although in reality the aircraft was not used much in that role.  In one scene you can see what appears to be a crewman in an A-20 operating a BC-348.   It may not be mounted in an A-20, but if not I can't figure out what else it could have been, given the location of the windows.  

Normally it appears that the A-20 was not fitted with liaison radios, being equipped with SCR-274-N in a manner similar to fighters.  But for recon I could see an A-20 having a BC-348 installed, presumably with a suitable companion transmitter.
