  Likely what you have is the MD-7/ARC-5, which is indeed the modulator for
the ARC-5 series of 'Command Set'.  The MD-7 uses two 1625s.

  The schematic you saw may have been for the BC-456, the modulator for the
SCR-274-N Command Set line.  The BC-456 uses a single 1625 and looks very
similar to the MD-7 externally.
