As we see the photo and the profile show 2 different a/c (a B-25D and a B-25J) but for some strange reason with the same serial. I remember somebody asked in the forum about these decals and I pointed towards some of the mistakes.

In fact there are three different B-25s from the 487thBS. with tail number 7V
1. The first 7V (photo above post #764) is indeed a B-25D-5 s/n 41-29960, but called "Snow White II":

2. The second 7V, is probably a B-25J-1, probable serial s/n 43-3988 and is factory camouflaged:

3. The third 7V, B-25J s/n unknown, is IMHO field camouflaged (OD over NM), called "Super Unit Ration K" and has the "Dogface" noseart:

B-25Cor D "Sweet Eloise" - does anybody know this particular a/c? Which squadron and group does it belong to?

Original eBay photo here.
P.S. Received an answer outside of this forum - it's a B-25D from the 100th BS., 42nd BG.

1. WWII WW2 US NAVY BELL LABORATORIES SWOD MK 9 BAT GLIDE BOMB TEST PHOTOGRAPH | eBay

Very interesting photo with (at least) 2 notable points:
1. IMHO this is a NAVY a/c thus a PBJ-1 - check the radar dome in the belly turret position too (Mk.9 Bat was a Navy radar guided gliding bomb project).
2. It's an older model (C or D) rather than one of the latest J-planes. Why did they use an older bomber, when was the Bat-glide bomb tested etc. is a mystery for now. How was this type of radar used in connection with the bomb is also unknown to me.

Checked the eBay article - these are a/c from the 42nd BG. on Palawan (Philippines), and the time frame should be early-mid summer of 1945 IMHO.
There are more B-25s in the same album - like this one e.g.:

This is "Miss Alice Bee" with the same flying (or diving) girl originally by Alberto Vargas, well known from "Heavenly Body":

Alberto Vargas has two of his pin-up girls in the same pose:
1. From December 1943

2. From August 1944
