Looks to be a captured Merlin powered P40F, one of the early USAAF birds that got to North Africa.  33rd, 57th or 79th FG.

Nice photos btw :)

I also see a captured Hudson in there, and what appears to be an Avro bird.

I see neither.  Are you thinking the wreck of the early He111 is a Hudson and the Ju86s are Avro birds?

Bingo. I was just thinking to myself "That looks kinda like an early Heinkel, now that I think of it..." and scrolled down to read your post!  :salute

Agree with Guppy - the P-40F.
