I had no idea B47's were also produced by Lockheed. And the early C130's had three bladed props.

Yep - Lockheed built 385 B-47s. The first C-130 props were electric driven

The B-47 is a long gone relic of the cold war, whereas the C-130 is still being made, amazing.

Iranian troopers posing for a photograph with the engine of a downed plane! No info about date and place, unfortunately.

Also, the caption says "probably Tupolev Tu-22 Blinder", can someone confirm or deny this?

Maybe in the Helion series could be something about that.

I don't have all about Irán-Iraq war, only the first one (the first year or little more) and don't remember anything about a Tu-22 shot down but will try to see.

Judging by ground and uniforms, it seems to be in Khuzestan area. This might be helpful. I know about several [according to Iranian sources] Tu-16 Badgers were lost / downed during first six months.
