For all practical purposes, the SCR-287-A (BC-348-*, BC-375-*) was found on ALL multi-engine 28-vdc USAAF aircraft in WWII, and the SCR-187-A (BC-224-*, BC-191-*) was found on similar 14-vdc USAAF aircraft.  So yes...the BC-375 was always on the B-26.

The SCR-287-A was replaced in late-WWII USAAF aircraft like the B-29 by the most excellent AN/ARC-8, which consisted of the AN/ARR-11 (BC-348-*) and the AN/ART-13A (T-47A/ART-13).
