Also known as the "Flying Boxcar" I would say from the pics,that they are around the late 40,s very early 50,s.The box car didnt enter operational service till 1948.Saw heavy service during the Vietnam war,and was also used by the RCAF amongst others. There was one on the film Con Air with Nicholas Cage.

Also used as a bomber, acording to the book 'Air America'. Drums filled with a mix of disiel and Tide detergent, and a WP grenade strapped on, caled 'Hot soup'. They also dropped the first FAE explosives.
