Two examples of the XP-51J were built, in order to test the installation of the Allison V-1710-119 engine and its infinitely variable two-stage supercharger. From the firewall back, they were largely identical to the F and G. The first one flew in the spring of '45, and one was later provided to the Allison Division of General Motors for testing the Allison G6 engine used in the F-82E.
I hope there's a happy answer to this question: are there any photos of either XP-51J extant? If nothing else it would make for an interesting scale model subject.
