eBay: North American P-51 Mustang

I would say the Baugher entry is a typo and it is supposed to be a F6-B which is an Allison engined P51A-1-NA modified to carry cameras for the Tac/R role. Hard to tell from the photo exactly the serial, whether 43-6053 or 43-6083, but both fall within production block serials for P-51A-1-NA not a P-51B airframe. Looking through other photos of 107th TRS F-6B that have been published to date, they don't appear to have carried the wings pylons and the majority by June 1944 had been modified with the replacement of the framed cockpit hood by a Malcolm Hood.

The F-6C were Merlin engined photo recon Mustangs. Are you saying this Mustang was configured to B/C status?

Joe Baugher is saying that a P-51A-1-NA was converted to an F-6C. Perhaps a typo somewhere along the way. The photo while a bit blurry looks like 36053.
