I do in fact have a genuine original R-390 Field and Depot Maintenance
Technical Manual, TM 11-5820-357-35, thanks to a friend who dumpster-
dove for it, and will scan and mail (or put on my website) selected pages.

I also have a pretty good scan of the 1962 version, from another source, 
up on my website at <http://mikea.ath.cx/R-390/TM_11-5820-357-35.pdf>, 
but there may be bits that aren't quite as clear as you may want.
