Amazing!

There would be B-52s that participated in both conflicts - ?
Nope.

The B-52s that participated in Vietnam were all the earlier models (specifically the -D, -F, & -G).

The last Vietnam-veteran Superfortresses were B-52Gs - and the last one of those left service in 1994 (after making combat strikes in Iraq during Desert Storm in 1991).

The B-52H (102 delivered to the USAF from 9 May 1961-26 Oct. 1962) is the only model left in service, and no B-52H ever entered the Vietnam combat theatre, instead being devoted solely to the Nuclear Deterrent role. The B-52H made its combat debut on September 3, 1996, when a pair of B-52Hs from the USAF's 2nd BW launched 13 AGM-86C cruise missiles against targets in southern Iraq.
