Yep. But they were never fitted with the cameras, afaik.  And they were G-6's, not G-8's as some sources say, right?

My books indicate that the G-2 trop models following the G-1 trop model probably had 13mm nose guns.  Why or how this change was justified they don't say but its interesting that the trop models got the heavier guns.  Maybe they were worried about P38's nailing their supply ships and bombers.
