Surely baseband processors are not based on seL4, since it currently has no realtime support (though it is in development: https://wiki.sel4.systems/seL4%200.0.1-rt-dev https://wiki.sel4.systems/seL4%200.0.1-rt-dev).
OKL4 is based on a kernel of the L4 family (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4_microkernel_family#Commercial_deployment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L4_microkernel_family#Commerci...):

seL4 is another kernel of this family that has been formally verified.
