Early Mustang cannon armament mock ups? (1 Viewer)

[BarnOwlLover]

Aside from a photo and a blueprint in the P-51B: Bastard Stepchild book, are they any other images or details about the early (pre-Mustang IA/NA-91) cannon mock ups or plans floating around? Mostly seeing how it differed (aside from staggered cannons and RAF modifications) from how it was implemented in the NA-91s. And also if there's any details on the canceled cannon/mixed cannon and MG armed Australian Mustangs?

I wish I had a photo to show what I'm trying to get at. But that's a strange (and not seen by me up to now) model that looks like a mash up or mock up or a XP-51B with some Mustang I features (like the front radiator scoop).

I know that drgondog had or had access to the photos and documents in question, but as far as I know as of now unless one's able to twist Boeing's arm enough (unlikely to say the least in my experiences), the only way to see them that I know of is in the P-51B book. There's one good picture of a 20mm cannon mock up featuring staggered cannons, and blueprint illustrations that sadly were too small for me to make out much detail.

An early P51(41-37427) with cannon armament. Apologies for the picture quality.
