Kurt & Mike,

ZB was a homing receiver on 234-258 MC.  Se my power-pointe:

However, Mike's amendment said AN/APX-1.  I can't find much on that 
except:  AN/APX-1     IFF Transponder Set; used in F4F, F6F-5, FM-2, F4U

I can easily believe the two antennas could be similar, perhaps cut to 
different lengths.

Ah ha,  Mark III IFF 157-187 MC  See:
