Not a bunch.

In fact, the Air Corps seemed to like buying incredibly similar aircraft 
DF sets around 1940. I was once at Fair Radio, looking thru the box of 
BC-434s (SCR-269 control box), and came out with lots of weirdos - 
BC-414, BC-432, BC-444. These are all basically the same box, but with 
*very*slightly* different frequency bands. Why this stupid lack of 
standardization? I could see if the loops differed for the various 
installations, but the radios should all basically be the same.
