5th AF
For a few monthes, from late 1943 to mid 1944 P-47 were flown also by
36th FS (8th FG)
9th FS (49th FG)
flying P-38 thereafter.

3d and 4th FS(C) (3d ACG) P-51 (Leyte and Luzon from jan. 1945)

Escuadrón Aéreo de Pelea 201 (Mexican Expeditionary Air Force) was attached to 58th FG in 1945.
Also 348th FG had 4 squadrons.

14th AF
3d and 5th FG of the Chinese-American Composite Wing

10th AF
1st ACG (5th, 6th FS (C) P-51 and P-47, then P-51) India from early 1944
2d ACG (1st, 2d FS(C) P-51) India from late 1944


RAF
Many squadrons were equipped with P-47 in CBI, but I don't think that any P-51 was used in combat operations. I remember reading some hundreds of P-51 delivered to RAF India, but too late for WW2.
Incomplete list:
no. 5, 30, 34, 42, 60, 79, 113, 123, 134, 135, 146, 258, 261 RAF

RAAF
Probably no. 84 and 86 Sqn got P-51 in mid 1945 in Australia.
