The two 240s bought by Ethiopian Airlines were fitted with JATO take off equipment due to its often very hot and high areas.
This is possibly the first aircraft c/n 168 ET-T-20 but since the other aircraft was c/n 170 and both were still with Convair on 7 Dec 1950 it is tricky to say....

Were you only allowed have your goggles down when belting along an open road?
And at least they didn't have to use the other day's boot mechanism to hold their rifles! -
