I thought originally this was a P-43 Lancer but it appears not. It's not a P-35 or P-36. I am at a loss. Can't quite put my finger on it. Older photo taken at Planes of Fame in Chino, CA - mid-1980s.
Pretty sure "74" is a North American T-6 Texan made to look like a P-64. It still retains the second seat. The T-6 must be the chameleon airframe for many types...
Appears I'm wrong. Nothing unusual there.
It would seem based on this site both machines above are desperately trying to be North American NA-50 fighters.
No.74 is a Harvard Mk.IV (N98474) and No.38 is an "unspecified T-6" (N25NA) - but the tail looks like a Harvard?

There are differences between the NA-50 (7 purchased by, and entered service with, Peru) and the P-64 (NA-68, 6 ordered by Thailand, but appropriated by the USAAF before delivery).
