In the acknowledgment section of Paul Baran's P-1995 from RAND says:

  "Although the work in this paper has been performed at The RAND
  Corporation, the work described in the following two papers was done
  while this writer was employed by the Hughes Aircraft Co."

It is not clear to me if RAND or Hughes published them and as you noted
P-1996 from RAND is unrelated.  I can only guess, and hope, that they
survive, will be scanned and put online for posterity if not already
some place I've yet to stumble upon.
