First two are AK933 and AK979 respectively. Don't recognize the N model.

Thx, I think the last may be MARC/Tallichet as I have a P-38 at the same display in very similar paint w/minimal markings(a sign let me know it was MARC)

That was a E model.

Could the N be Dave Tallichet's N9950 which he later sold to Doug Arnold?

The top pic Is John Paul's P-40E I believe, and the second pic was Tom Camp's P-40E. Not sure about the third one. It could have been John Paul's N before he put the second seat in.
