I have found NAA marked gauges that are not the "periscope" hood types which went in the fuselage tanks. They say full capacity is 92 gallons, and are round and flat faced, with 102 and 106 prefixes. Are these wing tank gauges? No photos until it warms up!

Martin,
Thanks for the ID. You never got back to me about the recognition lights. Do you still want a set? Would go nicely with some of these Mustang gauges I will now have for sale...
