Most of the Commonwealth aircraft radio installations that I've seen documented used the RA-10D or DB with the TA-12B or C.  

I've put together a TA-12/RA-10 combo, including MN-20 loop, loop control, receiver control, LF tank coil, everything except for the correct TA-12 control box (MT-51) and some of the connectors.  It seemed to take forever to find the control box for the RA-10.
