The photo is generally credited elsewhere as Liberator II AL536/N of 178 squadron RAF. It joined the squadron on 15/1/43 on its formation. The unit used this model through to the end of 1943. This aircraft was then returned to the UK in May 1944.

Double Camera Mount For B-24
The door camera mount for B-24s, shown in the accompanying,
t: photograph can be fitted into the rear hatch of a liberator,
permitting photographs to be made with two cameras
instead of one. The smaller camera, a GSAP, using 16mm
film is mounted along the finder of the larger camera. Film
from the smaller one may be processed quickly and used for
intelligence and combat work. The larger camera, a 71 Q Bell
and Howell, shoots 35 mm film which is sent hack to the
States for historic records and combat study. The mount was
arranged by Capt. Theodore Z. Rickman of the J 3th Combat
Camera Unit. - AIR FORCE Staff Correspondent in the South Pacific

Cool pic, never seen that before. It's a Liberator II, there was no B-24 equivalent of the Lib II, although the type is often referred to as an LB.30. Note the gun turrets, Boulton Paul quad-.303 units, the top one being aft of the wing box, and the non-turbocharged engines and their circular cowls. These were delivered to the UK unarmed and were fitted with defensive armament on arrival, then distributed to the units. The Liberator II was the first of the breed to be fitted with power turrets.
The LB-30 was a Consolidated in-house designation for "Liberators" for export. According to one source I have it stood for "licensed built". It was applied to 3 batches of aircraft:
LB-30A applied to 6 YB-24 transferred from a USAAC order to the RAF and used solely as transports. The first Liberators to be supplied to Britain in early 1941.
LB-30B as a follow on to the above batch these were 20 ex-USAAC B-24A supplied to Britain. 11 were converted as Liberator GR.I for 120 squadron in Coastal Command.
Production then moved to produce 139 LB-30 (+1 replacement airframe for the first one lost before delivery) against a French order taken over by Britain in June 1940. In British hands some of these became Liberator B.II and 10 became Liberator GR.II. Others remained as LB-30 in the transport role.
But immediately following Pearl Harbor the USA took possession of 75 of these LB-30 aircraft still on US soil. In US service they retained the LB-30 designation. 23 were subsequently passed on to Britain in spring/summer 1942 in lieu of lend lease B-24D deliveries. The remaining 52 were used for a variety of tasks by the USAAC. Some became transports for Air Transport Command or trainers for B-24 crews in the USA. Others became the first operational Liberator bombers with the USAAC, serving in Alaska, Hawaii (4 for long range recce), Panama (6th BG received 17 equipped with radar) and Java (19th BG) and then India (7th BG). For operational service US aircraft received a Martin upper turret with a pair of 0.5" guns in lieu of, and in the position of, the BP item on British aircraft, a twin 0.5" hand held tail mount plus single hand held 0.5" in nose, waist and belly positions.

Pacific Wrecks - LB-30 "Yard Bird" Serial Number AL515
On August 20, 1942 took off from Garbutt Field transporting passengers and cargo bound for Milne Bay and force landed at Gurney Airfield and was later destroyed by strafing Zeros.
Yup, I have a book...
The Liberator II was often referred to as an LB.30 and the USAAF received a handful, which were known as LB.30s, not B-24s oddly enough.
