Correct. There is the exact same code on our (OSTC) side.

Also correct. We try to make these two branches as compatible as 
possible. All settings not included in the hwOS Sport are ignored from 
the hwOS Sport.

The OSTC4 will be fully open-source very soon, as well (We're just 
cleaning up the code so it's a bit more understandable). So I hope to 
make the OSTC4 configuration-wise as compatible as possible then. 
Firmware update is and will be different, though.

Beside the firmware update (the OSTC 2 TR has a software-defined radio 
receiver which can be updated additionally to the normal firmware) the 
OSTC 2 TR is either an hwOS TEC or hwOS Sport OSTC. Nothing special for 
you to do.
