Maybe it's a hack. Often war weary planes were stripped of their guns and armor and used in a utility role.
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:
