That's "Bones" - the famous B-25H-10, s/n 43-5104 from the 12-th BG. - the last B-25 "Made in California".

The left engine with the darker area and AFAIK glued paychecks on it as in post #274 can be seen in the next photo too:

But there is a hidden fun-factor with this Mitchell. The same a/c had a different name: "Early Briefing". This was at the end of her carrier:

Note that the cannon port is faired over. The a/c was unfortunately scrapped in India.
