My employer has in their fleet C-46, C-47, and C-54 aircraft, of which
the C-46 is used regularly.  www. buffaloairways.com

The aircraft maintenance manuals have a section on the radio
installations, usually very detailed and well illustrated.  The
original gear in our company aircraft had many years ago been upgraded,
I do not have a source for any of the removed gear or any manuals for
the radios.  All of that was long since disposed of.
