Default Douglas SBD Dauntless radio fit

Which HF radio xcvr was used in the SBD ca. 1940-42? My feeling is
that it would have been the ARB, but need to have this confirmed. This
is for a scene in a movie set in Guadalcanal in 1942, where a link to
home is maintained by (quote) 'a radio scavenged from a wrecked SBD'.
A serious authenticity effort is being made.

Thanks,
