It doesn't seem likely.  But that brings up another matter.

Does anyone have any info that the USAF *ever* used the AN/ARR-15
anywhere?  I've seen nothing that shows that the USAAF / USAF ever using
any receiver with the AN/ART-13 other than the AN/ARR-11 (BC-348-*).

I've seen nothing but info which indicates that only the US Navy used
the AN/ARR-15.

Similarly, the website referenced a few days ago

http://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/jetds/an-arq2ary.html

lists several aircraft in which the AN/ARR-41 HF receiver is said to
have been used, yet I believe several of the aircraft on the list were
not generally flown by the US Navy.  To my knowledge only the USN used
the AN/ARR-41, usually along with the also USN-only AN/ARC-38 and -38A
HF AM and USB receiver-transmitters.

I know one can always find exceptions to any rule, but as a rule it
seems the USN and the USAF have had differing tastes in their aircraft
radio systems.  (Except for the AN/ARC-27, which seemed to have been
used alsost everywhere.)
