Allison engine Mustang. Guns in nose and looks like two in each wing. If so, an A-36A.

Can't see any dive brakes on the upper wing surface.

No dive brakes and apparently no bomb racks, either It says there are three ammo containers in each wing for the machine guns, which would mean a Mustang Mk 1.
This looks like a later version of the same drawing and it seems to be a Mustang Mk 1

Mk I had three guns per wing, w two in the nose. So I went w the A-36A. However, I yield to your assessment, as no dive breaks can be seen in the drawing.

By testing a North American XP-51B Mustang with cropped wings in the 16-foot High-Speed Tunnel, Ames researchers traced the source of a serious rumble to the location of the plane's radiator cooling scoop below the fuselage. The problem scoop is barely visible below the wing. Lowering it slightly moved it outside the turbulent boundary layer and eliminated the rumble. Note the turntables in the walls for pitch adjustment.

At what point in time did Canada begin to use the red 'Maple Leaf' in their military roundels? I have a WWII print of a Spitfire IX flown by a Canadian Unit that has the standard RAF roundels. Thanks.

Likely a Squardon's new acquisition, since no fuselage codes have been applied. Also it appears that aside from the matt top painted fuselage from the canopy to the spinner, stars and tail code, the P-51B/C is still in its natural aluminum state.
