Thanks for proving that it's a C-130B-11....but I didn't realise that it could have been carrying the tail nos of an A model. So the other C-130 in at that time 70483 was also 'in disquise', see below for photo of it's engines.
How often would ELINT USAF C-130's be working with a US Navy electronics plane, like the 'Willie Victor', that it was with, I wonder and would the WV-2 135749's tail code of 'KR-2' be false as US Navy Squadron VQ-1 carried 'PR' normally I believe?
On whom would they have been snooping in early 1963? Vietnam hadn't yet caught fire, The US, Aussie and Brit jets had returned from their detachments in Thailand and Laos was only just getting interesting. I guess the later one, unless the US was showing interest in Indonesia. Sukarno there was pissed off with the newly formed Malay Federation and was shortly to lead them into 'Confrontation' with the Brits. He also was getting lots of Russian jets, including 'Badgers' so perhaps the US was showing an interest in those. However the US politicians were still backing Sukarno at that time.
Here's 70483, obviously not an C-130A model as that serial suggests:
