F4u-1d ?...no bubble top and appears to be an F4u-1a with a
slightly different skin.

Major ..after checking into it..u are partially right :)
according to my book, the 1d reverted back to 50s from the bs
20mm and could carry 1 1k bomb. You are however incorrect when
you say no f4u had the bubble top. According to my book, the
4C and and the 7 had bubbles..Oh well..
