Congratulations Steve...you own a piece of History.  Better documented than 
most that are out there.  Wish I knew where mine served.  When I was doing 
R1051's some had the ships name written on the sides of the chassis or 
cabinets.  Haven't found any of my R-390A's marked in any way that would 
give a clue as to where they served.

It's too bad there is not a Military inventory some where that kept track of 
where each radio was assigned and how it was disposed of.  That type info is 
available on aircraft in the military inventory and I'm guessing it was also 
tracked somewhere on the radio assets as well...  We just don't have access 
to it..

Cecil...
