That would seem to be unlikely, as PACAF spec'd doppler sets for 'their'
F-100Ds and Fs, dash -20s, specifically for overwater navigation out of
range of TACAN. You could ID them by the presence of a small intake in
the leading edge of the fin, just aft of where the fairing joins the fin
proper.

Seemed to work okay on Buccaneers and Sea Kings, at least, else why
bother fitting it?
