T.O. No. 16-40BC1206-2, 5 Aug. 1945 has the following info:

All models of the model BC-1206-() are mechanically and electrically
interchangeable.  .... etce tc.  Radio receiver BC-1206-A is sometimes
known as "Model 438", Radio Receiver BC-1206-C is sometimes known as
"Model 524 Beacon Receiver" and Radio Receiver BC-1206-D is sometimes
known as "Ranger Model 111-C Range Receiver".

Tubes:

6K7GT		RF Amp
6SA7GT		1st Det & Osc.
6SK7GT		IF Amp
6SQ7GT		2nd Set & Audio Amp
28D7		Audio Output *

*Early models of the BC-1206-A had two 25L6 tubes for the Audio output.

NOTE:  The schematic for the -B- model shows a pair of 25L6 tubes as
well.  this also applies to the -D-model with serial numbers 1-265
inclusive.  On the -D- model with serial numbers 266 and up, there are a
pair of 28D7 tubes.

The -A- model depicted inside is the Setchell-Carlson unit.  I also have
an Instruction Manual for the -A- model by Detrola Corp., a Manual for
the Modle 524 (BC-1206-C) by Setchell-Carlson as well as the -CM- (Model
524) by Setchell Carlson.  These last three are all 4 1/2 X 6 1/2
format.

This T.O. covers all 4 modles of the BC-1206.  If anyone is interested
in having a copy, let me know off the list and i'll get them made up. 
Not sure what the cost per copy would be.  Maybe $3-4 plus postage.
