Picked up these two shots from eBay this afternoon. The first, 41-633, wears the field code V, assigned to the British Flying Training School #1 at Terrell, TX. Behind it is a BT-13 with a suffix code F, most likely from Freeman Field in Indiana.
Captioned "Schmidlap in the cockpit of an AT-6":

Next is 42-85553, based at Aloe Field. Captioned "Left to Right Orlick, Ingleman and me. The airplane is an AT-6. It was almost new and had only a few hours on it."
The code appears to be 52W, unfortunately "Orlick" and "Ingleman" had to go and stand in front of it :| That's one jdvoss needs for his Fuselage Codes site:
