What I found interesting was the description of modifications that
installed -49194 (SO-239) sockets, and utilized -49195 (PL-259) and
-49192 (right angle) plugs (coax UHF, not N) on TCS sets.

There are two articles.  One is found on pages TCS: 8 and TCS: 9,
dated 07/01/1951.  The other is found on page TCS: 9, dated
10/01/1951.

So, there are in fact apparently a few TCS sets that were modified
by the military for these common ham-type RF connectors.  But unless
the set in question actually has "-49194" on the connector, I'd still
bet that the mod was mad by a ham.
