This made my day, hesham, thanks a lot for this.
 
Fascinating stuff Hesham! I wonder if the two-seat T-55 was meant as a competitor to the Curtiss-Wright CW-25/AT-9?

Thank you my dear Apophenia,

These images are taken from a 1940 company brochure. Two things strike me here:
  1. The designation T50 was not hyphenated, originally (this is also true of P1, P3 and others at the same time)
  2. The aircraft was given Twin as its official name (capitalized and affixed to the designation everywhere)
