Same aircraft, used multiple times for a series of photographs that were issued to local press to show an aircraft representing one purchased using war bond or similar funds drives in various cities, counties or states as well as community groups. There are other photos, likely taken on same day, showing this aircraft with the names of the sponsors on the same panel below the exhausts. There were similar photos taken at later dates showing a representative P-51B and then later P-51D with names of locations and groups that had donated funds sufficient to purchase an aircraft.Post 1305, one says City and the other is County. Wonder if they're different a/c or the same one painted over? Interesting!
I'd say the top too! Looks O/D to me. I don't think I've ever seen a P-51 (B or D) from the 31st FG other than NMF.Interesting colour study on the bottom.

That's a -51A...I wonder if its not actually an A-36, or maybe a pre-cursor.AP247 No. 4 Squadron RAF
