The concerns the switch to the narrowed width intake that was introduced on the XP-51F/G and used on the P-51H, XP-82 and P-82B/C/D. I know that those planes also had small intakes flanking the supercharger intake for cooling engine ignition system parts. But they're "missing" on the P-51B/C/D/K, though those planes had a wider intake. Were those cooling apertures incorporated into the wider intake on the earlier Merlin Mustangs?
