Need help finding info on a Zero

Can someone help me find info on this Zero?

I know it flew in the Coral Sea Battle, did it also fly at Midway?

That skin of Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero based at Rabual in November 1942 and came from the book, "Axis Aircraft of WWII."

Likely, I think A6M2 and A6M3 saw action over Midway, but unsure about A6M5.
