I rated your post informative because I never knew p51s, A model or otherwise ever came in in the 8 gun variety. I truly learn something new here every day( usually several things). Thanks.Agreed, excellent photography.
I believe that's a P-51A of the eight gun variety. Two under the nose and three in each wing, the outer pair are just out of frame on each side.
P-51A had 4 hmgs, 2 in each wing.
Mustang I had 8 mgs.
It was equipped with four 0.50-in machine guns and four 0.30-inch guns. Two of the 0.50-in guns were mounted in the lower fuselage and were synchronized to fire through the propeller arc. The rest of the guns were mounted in the wings and fired clear of the propeller arc.
Peter,
