Given how prevalent Kai Ni is now, I don't think it'll be a problem to adopt Kai Yon for consistency sake. People that understand what Kai Ni means will probably catch on that Yon is yet another numbering and people that don't even know Kai Ni till now probably don't give a damn anyway other than the stats. People that want to know what Kai Yon means, however, will just refer to the equipment page where there'll probably be a comment that answers Yon = 4. It's just learning another word in the Japanese numeral system; it's not that hard. And let's be honest, not knowing Yon = 4 doesn't impede your gameplay while knowing it is a bonus to learning the numeral system just like how Kai Ni is now.

Given that 号 can means edition/model, I think type is a close enough substitute. If you're sticking with No., however, should it be translated as No. 13 Air Radar or Air Radar No. 13? I think the latter kinda makes more sense but again, preference.

While your arguement is valid, I hope you don't end up translating anything in the future :P. Compensating accuracy in the name of localization when it's not even a pun/idiom/wordplay is detrimental to the understanding of the story/language and not something I'm very fond of.
