Some of us might have seen the same nose art in recent days:

In fact the above "Mitchell" is the "Executive Sweet"

'My Buck' noseart was painted as a memorial to the 90-year old Link Piazzo, one of the pilots of the original a/c.
Here is another photo of the real "My Buck" :

The original a/c with the 8-guns nose, s/n 44-29509 was in fact with the 17-th TRS. (tactical reconnaissance squadron), 71-st RG. (not BG.!) in the SWPA (5-th USAAF).
'Lifelike decals' makes a set which includes "My Buck":

All photos are from the internet.
Cheers!
P.S. from Dec.19 2022
HK Models has manufactured a 1:32 modell for the same a/c:

I knew the USAF flew TB-25's into the late 50's but I did not realize they still had some around in 1966.

I talked to a pilot who took the B-25 to MASDC that had been used by Gen Doolittle for his personal transport. He said it had the B-25B style collector ring exhausts rather than the ejector stacks of the later models- that made it a lot quieter.
