Jack, Mike Hanz is the expert:

I'd bet that the USAF must have made continued use of the
AN/AIC-2 (which uses that common AM-26/AIC), and the USN the
AN/AIC-4, among several other possibilities.

There's also related information in this 1953 copy of JANAP 161

http://jptronics.org/radios/Military/JANAP161/index.html

which oddly (to me) does not include the AN/AIC-4.
