Sort of.  The list of aircraft and associated comms equipment at 
http://aafradio.org/docs/Navy-radio-gear-1943.pdf shows a JRB-2 
(Beechcraft "Twin Beech") having a TA-12C and an RA-10DB, which seems to 
have been a typical T/R matchup.  It's about the typical size aircraft 
that used the set as well.  Larger aircraft, if they used a Bendix 
transmitter as opposed to a Navy nomenclatured one, fleeted up to the 
higher powered TA-2* series.
