As the airplane is displayed today, the centerline tank has a yellow and red lightning bolt on it. Was this a 1st ACS marking or a leftover Navy marking when the light-colored tanks were transferred to the USAF?

All right, WIXers, if you guys can speak to the number of fasteners on a P-51 dorsal fin, certainly one of you knows Navy squadron markings well enough to answer this one ...

Here's a link to some 1st SOS Photos. I don't see any with a 'bolt on the centerline tank
