I knew they put a 75mm gun in the B-25, didn't know they did so in the A-26...

Neat shots of a early A-26's of the 47BG.

They actually had an optional gun installation that featured not only a 75MM but also a 37MM as well.

An A-26 Invader drops its load of bombs on the Siegfried Line in Germany. It looks like this would be the winter of 1944.

I recall reading that the 9th AF had great hopes for the A-26 in the CAS role. It could carry a lot more ordnance than the P-51, P-47 or P-38.
Tests showed that at low altitude an A-26 was just as fast as a P-47. But the A-26 proved to be a much larger target and much more easily hit by antiaircraft fire than was the P-47.
