"Ethereal"?  If it really says "Ethereal", it probably dates back before the introduction of the pcap link-layer types LINKTYPE_LAPD etc.; the only pcap encapsulation that a release called "Ethereal" supported (the last release called "Ethereal" was 0.99.0) was LINKTYPE_LINUX_LAPD.

What does capinfos say about the exported-to-Ethereal files?

Well, some vendors of commercial network analyzers publish their capture file format, and others don't, but it might be possible to reverse-analyze the format.  Who are the two vendors in question?

What's "TRC format"?
