does anyone know what the right ordnance is for a F4U-AU1 Corsair

[Oliverlovesplanes]

not like machine guns but bombs and rockets.
and does anyone know about a AU1 Corsair with the tail letters LD and in the VMA 212 named Ms Penny
funny enough I have the Lego version of the plane and am trying to find the real one
but on mine I only have 6 rockets and 6 bombs and a 3 blade propeller
I have also checked books but could not find any pictures or anything else

The AU-1 could have various weapon loads depending on what was needed. They also had 10 wing stations for weapons. In the first photo two stations on each wing have been removed so that it could carry larger bombs.

They are not HVAR, FFAR or Tiny Tim. Since it's based at Quantico it's most likely "practice" ordinance. Perhaps smoke or dummy?
