On further look at a blow-up of the cockpit photo, there is:
-MN-52 manual RDF loop antenna control to the lower right of the MN-28,
-BC-451-A transmitter control box (dangling upside down near starboard side),
-(Possible, but un-clear) BC-450-A three-receiver control box below MN-28.
The SCR-274-N installation isn't too surprising, but the MN-26 RDF is.
