The gun ports have been covered with a fabric patch, so are not visible. This was done because of dust. In the A-20 picture thread elsewhere on this forum are piccies of this gun port covered in fabric prior to firing.

This is the configuration I was talking about:

Maybe those gun ports were not always covered in the early years? But it' possible that the a/c with the shark's mouth has a patch though. I've seen fabric patches on standard Boston-bombers from the 47-th BG. but from later days:

The above photos are from 47th Bombardment Group.

... the A-20 keeps growing on me. Easy to see why it was so useful to so many. With the solid nose it is the P-47 of light twins , IMO, the Mosquito being the Mustang.
 
U.S. Navy Douglas XTBD-1 Devastator torpedo bomber in flight near NAS Anacostia October 14, 1935. The Devastator was a very good aircraft and state of the art - when it was first flown in 1935. It had the misfortune to only see combat six and a half years later, during an era of rapid aeronautic advances. In 1942, it would prove to be meat on the table for the Japanese Zero.
