Where is Widewing, when you need him? :)

The Pony in the first picture, IIRC, is not a P-51 but an A-36 Apache/Invader, the first examples of which were fitted with 4 Hispanoes: not totally sure, but they should have seen combat.

I think A-36s were just before the war, which is pretty obvious.
The only way I can tell a A36 from a P51B was the Air coolant on the nose.

A-36s flew combat in Italy and North Africa.

The 4 cannon is an P51 or P51A.

There were a few Allison engined P51s that had 4 20mm.  The A36 was not one of them.  And the A36 was not a pre-war plane

The A36 had dive brakes, which lead to the attack designation.  The P51A did not.  Both were Allison engined birds.

Couldn't find anything on the disruptive camouflage. What was the point of it?

Do a little research on the development of the P-51 and you'll find that to not be the case.  Apparently it was not as obvious as you thought Bosco  ;)
