Don't think so.  
http://tbn0.google.com/hosted/images/c?q=d45e8f53e2ab802a_large has a 
photo from Life Magazine of the radio position on the B-19.  More likely 
the B-15?  The Life photo has what looks like a BC-191 (possibly an -A 
model...you can see one of the two antenna posts on the front of the 
tuning unit peeking out) and post-BC-224-A, as well as a BC-230 
transmitter and BC-229 receiver above the -191.  What is particularly 
interesting to me is a largish interphone control box which the "pilot" 
(radio operator) is studiously adjusting as he "copies" traffic - I have 
never seen one of these before now.  Also has a novel way of mounting 
the top shock for the -191...a sheet metal hook, to make it easier to 
set in place.
