Not necessarily. This is not a strafer Havoc, but a modified bomber, probably -B, could be -C, from the 47-th BG in North Africa/Italy. The "greenhouse" bombardier's nose is overpainted. These a/cs usually had 2 guns installed in the nose (field modification) + 2 side guns. I can see the former on the first picture, just above the front teeth. I believe the ports of the latter are in the black area of the shark's mouth thus "unvisible" for us - check under the 5-th tooth, in front of the tongue.
Below is shown the same (or similar - one never knows
) modification:Picture copied from the 47-th BG. site here: 47th Bombardment Group

Thanks for the link.
You are welcome!
Lots of photos there - not only of the planes but of the people and places too. I've been following this site since years for pieces of information. Occasionally my favorite B-25 shows there as well.
Cheers!
