It's not a factory option, it's squadron markings, I think.  I've seen Airacobras with teeth, for example.  Here's a link: http://ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2003/05/stuff_eng_profile_p39.htm

Try searching for the 18th Fighter Bomber Group flying F-51s during
the Korean War.  I have a nice Osprey Frontline Color book called
F-51 Mustang units over Korea that has dozens of photos for you.

There is nothing trivial about a P51...
