I have the manuals for the L5.
The L5 could come with 6, 12 or 24 VDC electrical systems.

6 or 12 Volt  could use:
 Transmitter RCA AVT-15 / Receiver AVR-15 or -20.
Transmitter RCA AVT-112 /  Receiver AVR-20

24 Volt used 1 transmitter/1 receiver SCR-274N.

Also- when the aircraft was used as a "spotter"
for Armor or Mechanized Infantry, 
BC-620 or BC-659 low VHF FM was improvised-in.
That installation is not in the manual but is 
otherwise authenticated.
