It won't be a "Tip Tow" aircraft. That B-29A 44-62093 was lost in late 1950 when.A test F-84D, when attempting a hookup roles inverted and smashed into the B-29's wing. All onboard were lost.
I have never seen a B-29 with tip tanks outside of the sole YKB-29T which was.converted to a three-year system in tne UK. Similar mods were later done on KB-50s.
Many B-50s and KB-50s had 700 gallon under wing tanks between the outboard engines and the tips, but they wouldn't be mistaken as "tip tanks".
B-47s also did not have tip tanks. However, they did have a pair of 1,500 tanks located between the engine pods.
