These are actually A-36 dive bombers, the first incarnation of the P-51.

They are not A-36s. The ones in the foreground are Mustang Mk.1As destined for the United Kingdom, whereas the olive drab ones are a part of the British order that was diverted to the USAAF, the aircraft were NA-91s, designated simply as P-51s without the 'A' prefix.

A wee thing to remember, the Mustang/P-51 originated from a British requirement and so the RAF received it first, as the Mustang I. USAAF interest came subsequently.

Here it is today, on display at the RAF Museum.

A minor correction to the title, 467 Sqn was an RAF unit, but was a Commonwealth squadron and the Aussie units were often referred to as RAAF squadrons, although strictly speaking they operated under the command of the RAF.
