a good candidate for the "What is it?" thread. What aircraft are these wings for? I'm thinking TBM/TBF?

My early guess are P-36 or P-40 wings, judging by the 2 gun ports, and the wheel well that looks to work with a rearward retracting MLG that attaches to the underside of the wing surface. Other opinions may very, I really wanted it to be a Vengeance or a P-75 wing just to be more odd. But I think they are P-40 wings.

Good guess P-40's from TIME-LIFE photographer.
