A quick check of the N-numbers show that while the TP-51C is registered to the Collings Foundation in Stow, MA, the TP-51D 'Toulouse Nuts' is registered to the Toulouse Nuts LLC, from Raleigh, NC. The current certificate for the aircraft was issued on 28th Sept of this year, while not conclusive, it might be related to an owner change around that time.
I thought that the TP-40N sale was already a done deal. As was mentioned, it was sold to the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar in 2021, see here:
