Well, I am certain this is an ARC Type 12. I can send a photo of the nomenclature plate to 
anyone who wants it.

It is a small blue-grey or black job with a white surround held right at the top center with two 
screws: it reads RECEIVER R-32 (28V), SER NO. 602 CAATC. NO. 1454, 108-135 MC 8.6 
LBS, Aircraft Radio Corporation, BOONTON NEW JERSEY

The receiver is painted in that grey wrinkle like all Type 12's I've seen. It also has no tuning 
dial but the large connector in the center of the panel.
