There is some interesting info.  In particular, Fig. 501P shows the forward antennas on a C-47B, including a loop for a MN-26 (or maybe AN/ARN-11) radio direction finder *AND* the LP-21 for the AN/ARN-7 ADF.  Who'd have thought a manual RDF and an ADF would both be on the same aircraft!

Also, Fig. 498 shows the AT-5/ARR-1 antenna normally used with the USN's AN/ARR-1 or AN/ARR-2 radio homing system.  I think this aircraft is supposed to be a USAAF aircraft, which would make this one of the few examples I've seen of USAAF aircraft that might actually have the homing radio combo consisting of an AN/ARR-1 with a BC-946-B SCR-274-N BCB receiver.
