The first P-51D-NA 42-106539 was modfied from a Spare P-51B-1 fuselage, alongside 43-12102. Exactly the same, save for the six gun wing. Note the unpainted left elevator. The original was ruptured (Fabric 'balloned' during high speed dive test. Later resulted in reducing angle of incidence of H.Stab to 1degree and replacing the fabic elevator with metal in D-20-NA and D-25-NT.

Possibly 43-24807 of Capt. Walter Starck. Obviously before they became "The Bluenose Bastards Of Bodney".
Yes, Capt. Walter Starck flew HO-X #4807 and destroyed an Me 109 and damaged another with it on 1 July 1944 http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/mustang/combat-reports/352-starck-1july44.jpg and destroyed an Me 109 with it on 21 July 1944. http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/mustang/combat-reports/352-starck-21july44.jpg

1st Lt. William Fowler also flew HO-X, #4807 and shot down a couple of Me 109's with it on 18 July 1944.

Also, 2nd Lt. Lt. Phanor Waters got a Fw 190 with HO-X, #4807 on 11 Sept 1944.

HO-X #4807 is an ace with at least 5 kills

Not so sure. It doesn't have the later more common full coverage, but may have light blue cowlband and spinner. 43-24807 is a late Block 15 P-51B which didn't arrive until a month to six weeks after ETO different nose band/spinner schem was ordered.

It clearly doesn't have pre-order white spinner/cowl Band common to all ETO Mustangs, pre March 15-16.

Independent of interesting scheme, it arrived after the Bastards acquired Blue Noses. Looks to be May 1944
 
Fwiw, from VIII Fighter Command at War: 'Long Reach' By Michael O'Leary:


Presumably the + directly under the window screen denotes a kill?

Edit; Tom Ivie, in 352nd Fighter Group, says the victory symbol represents Starck's P-47 kill.
