I only remember seeing the ones with the clamshell doors with a hughe radial engine in them. No "snout" on the ones I've seen in Laos.
Air America leased 6 S58Ts in Laos, but 3 were listed as downed in 1973 and the remaining 3 scrapped in 1974. The Thai Am company modified 18 Sikorsky S34 Choctaws to S58Ts for the Royal Thai Air Force from 1978:

What were people flying them using, if nothing can be found today ?
