Belly Tank on Ebay - P-40, P-39 or P-47?

[Second Air Force]

Judging from the German text of the sale I'd guess P-47? Neat find!

[RAMC181]

US-manufactured 110 (US) gallon steel drop tank.

Originally intended as a belly tank for P-47s, in the 8AF its main use was as a P-51 wing tank during the second half of 1944.
Most supplies of these tanks went to the MTO and PTO.

All the best,
