The construction numbers should actually start with 337M-___. This might sound a little nit-picky, but the civial 337s had construction numbers beginning with 337-____, and duplicate sequential numbers on the end. Note noting the M in the construction number might create some confusion for a s/n freak.

The O-2B were 31 commercial Super Skymasters purchased from Cessna dealers for psychological warfare. They were outfitted with loudspeakers , 3-600 watt amps and a reel to reel tape recorder. They were also equipped with a leaflet dispersal system. They did have 338- numbers and not 338M.
