They are some of the pictures in a powerpoint e-mail sent by a friend.

The "P51B" looks a bit more like an A36 Apache, though I am not sure.  I though the low fixed scoop like that one was on the A36, the P51B had the more modern and recognized later scoop.

Cannon armed P-51. I'm pretty sure it was desginated P-51 or Mustang IA and was not a B.

Didn't the P51 A and B have the later shaped lower radiatior air coolant scoop?

The pictures are all off a website that has lots of color shots.  Not at home so I don't have the site address, but it's official photos taken back then.

Early Allison Mustangs some RAF bound and some USAAF  No A36s that I could see.

Goto Google and type in "French military victories", then hit "I'm feeling lucky".
Here lie these men on this sun scoured atoll,
The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,
A requiem fitting for heroes
