The card is for an aircraft with the four-chznnel VHF SCR-522-A and a beacon band receiver like the BC-1206-series.  Up to four air-to-ground channels are shown for each field, and one or two homing channels from airfield to aircraft.  It seems unlikely that the card shown would have had much applicability to an aircraft with only a single-channel HF SCR-274-N set for communications.  Perhaps the restorers do not have the appropriate original card for the time period depicted by the restoration.
