Just about all of the USAF aircraft after the war began to use them, 
Curt.  The Enola Gay has *two* of the sets installed!  The mounts are 
physically the same as the AN/ARC-5 modulator, twin transmitter, and 
twin receiver mounts, if that helps.  The only difference is Type I cad 
plating rather than black wrinkle paint on the mounting rails, and the 
nomenclature Leroyed inside the rail on the front instead of a 
nomenclature plate.  It would be easy to fabricate if you can't find an 
MT-238.
