I don't think that the C-132 ever made it off the drawing boards!

Actually a Douglas C-133 I'm pretty sure. The C-132 was cancelled.

The drawing depicts the XC-132, not the C-133.

The C-133 had a long thin fuselage with a very straight wing. The C-132
looked like a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser with a high swept wing and
turboprops, which is what this picture depicts. It was meant to be much
larger than the C-133. It's an artist's rendering of what was proposed, not
what was built.

I did not really notice the swept wings so you are most likely correct it is
not a picture but a rendering of a C-132. It is a bit busy here in Midland,
Tx as this is AIRSHO week for the CAF - my only excuse ;-)
