Hi, good to hear more.
Based on that serial number, which is probably based on the manufacture date code as they often were back then, it would be late 1991 vintage.
These were definitely classed as Land Mobile radios, and could have been programmed to UHF CB.
Kenwood TK-360G
8-channel capacity
Up to 5 watts output power
Lightweight and compact
Large speaker with high audio output
QT/DQT built-in signaling
2-tone talk-back paging
Sleek and sturdy, these are easy-to-handle portables for any situation requiring dependable communications in a compact package. Weighing in at only 14 oz., the TK-260/360 is loaded with features. These 8 channel radios meet MIL-STD specifications so they fit into any work environment.
A quick search didn't actually reveal it but the TK260 was probably a VHF version, the TK360 was for UHF - 400 to 520MHz.
Being hand held radios, the power consumption would have been low and thus easily powered from batteries coupled with a solar panel via a regulator.
You will not get anything for them if sold, too old and too modified. Probably just as well to bin these bits. Interesting but basically worthless.
