Thanks to Nugo's mention of a "Temco Model 32 transport proposal" I was able to find a very poor photo of a full page article from Les Ailes N°1500 published in 1954.

Until our pal Jemiba or myself can get our hands on the real thing, I have attempted to reconstruct the image so we can get a clearer view of the aircraft's general arrangement.
Its general lines are reminiscent of the Martin 4-O-4 and Convair 240 series of aircraft, but in terms of size and purpose it was more like a forerunner of the Beechcraft King Air, the Cessna 620 and similar aircraft that only came into being during the 1960s.
