			You don't see many NMF razorbacks. 
So, extremely late production around the time the USAAF stopped doing camouflage?
The Mosquitos are interesting. If they are at at USAAF depot they are likely Canadian built B.XXs, which were modified as F-8s. Notice the RAF markings on one, so taken during conversion but before final paint?

			I looked up the serials I could read:
P-47D-6-RE 42-74647 (350th FS, 353rd FG, 8th AF) in landing accident at RAF Metfield, Suffolk, England Nov 12, 1943. In 1944 the plane was transferred to the 56th FG and flown by Robert C. Cherry 62nd FS (from a Faceplant page).
P-47D-22-RE 42-25862 No info.
P-47D-22-RE 42-26046 No info.
P-47D-6-RE 42-74734  (48th FG, 492nd FS) in landing accident Aug 26, 1944 at Deux-Jumeaux, France. Since CP was 367th FS/358 FG, this is either incorrect or it was reassigned.
P-47D-22-RE 42-25965 (507th FS, 404th FG, 9th AF) in landing accident at St-Trond airfield A-92 Sint-Truiden, Belgium Dec 17, 1944.  Pilot survived, aircraft badly damaged, unknown if repaired.
