Hi Mike,

That's odd...I'm just the opposite.  I've never actually seen one with a USN contract number, though I've flown in USN aircraft that I know used the AN/ARN-6.  

Over the years I've acquired more or less unintentionally an R-101, R101A, and a R-101B/ARN-6, and they all have those funky uninformative "AF (33)..." contract numbers on them that only tell you obviously that they are USAF acquisitions.
