On that center pedestal one sees:

C-404A/A       Control panel for the AN/ARC-3 VHF command set
C-455/ARC-21   Pilot's control panel for the AN/ARC-21 MF/HF CW/AM liaison set
C-403A/A       Control panel for AN/ARN-6 ADF

Back at the radio operator area there is:

C-451/ARC-21   Main control panel for AN.ARC-21 (mentioned already by Scott)
C-544/APX-6    Control panel and DESTRUCT switch for AN/APX-6 IFF

The MF/HF backup set AN/ARC-8 is the T-412/ART-13B (without vernier scale on dial B).  The only MF frequency shown on the tuning chart for the CDA-T is 500 kHz.  The receiver is an AN/ARR-11...the BC-348-R.

There are no signs of the presence of an AN/ARR-36 auxiliary receiver for the AN/ARC-21.  That would have required another C-451/ARC-21 as its control panel.
