Those are from the collection of Mark Stevens, who has made the 7th AF Fighters his mission in life.  He has a website that covers those fighter groups

http://www.7thfighter.com/

One of his goals is the recovery of a P51D "Sparkin Eyes" from a Japanese lake where it went down to flak and it's pilot made a POW.

I did a profile for him for that project. 

http://www.7thfighter.com/newsletter/sunsetter_fall_2006.pdf

Did one of Jerry Yellin's "Dorrie R" too.  His book on flying VLR missions in a 51 from Iwo to Japan is a very good read.
