So strange to see no VHF or UHF antennas, wonder when they moved most air operations over to VHF, also is that a SCR-270 or the navy version of that? The size of the elements look about right for a SCR-270 and although its pure speculation think a lot of those sets were built. The SCR-270 also had provisions for integrating a IFF system and would think it would be a natural for ATC.

The web address below is a picture of the island of Aircraft Carrier USS Enterprise ( CV-6 ) taken some time before her 1943 refit ( note the older type "Chicago Organ" anti-aircraft guns in front of her island, replace during her refit).  The picture shows her radar antenna, and above that, her YE homing beacon antenna.
