This seems to be an interpretation of photos with the wrong conclusion; there is no evidence that this aircraft was ever termed "TRC-27" and unlikely either to have any link with the T2V-1. It was ordered as a trainer for Bryan AFB but funded as a USAF ARDC project and following test with Lockheed (under bailment from the USAF) it passed to Wright Patterson in May 1954. It was later bailed to the Aircraft Engineering & Maintenance Co. in Oakland CA.
Argentine Navy L-188A Electra (0793) in 1990 was converted as electronic warfare aircraft and fitted with a Wave Elint/Sigint Elta EL 8300 system. It was operated until October 28, 2002.
