Not sure.  I was just talking one time to one of the military people that were 
involved with Univac and the university (Oregon State, I think).  He mentioned 
that they had experimented with it.  And from the time frame you are probably 
correct that it was transistors rather than IC's.

Any ternary logic or memory in the 1960's was probably implemented
with discrete transistors rather than with IC's.
