Number 1 there looks to be a personal transport of some kind, being silver and with the star on the wheels. I read in Jimmy Doolittle's bio that at one point early in the war he had a all silver P-40 for personal use while he was in charge of getting production rolling at different plants. Not saying that one is his, just an observation.
 
P-40Rs. Merlin
P-40Rs, Merlins replaced with Allisons.

If that's an F, why does it have an Allison?

Curtiss P-40 Warhawk variants - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

41-19933/20044, Curtiss P-40F-20-CU Warhawk, Model H87-B3, 19935 19937, 19971, 19990, 20039 converted to P-40R-1.

Although the P-40F was superior to the Allison powered P-40s, there was a shortage of Merlin engines due to the vast number of aircraft that used them. Parts for these engines were becoming scarce, and maintenance became an issue. As a result, at least 70 P-40Fs were re-engined with V-1710-81s of 1,360 hp.[3] These aircraft became known as P-40R-1s.
 
Curtiss P-40E-1 41-36504 retained in USA. Collided with another aicraft on takeoff at Hillgrove AAB, RI Dec 27, 1942. 27-12-1942 Sunday
