Question stirling bomber with us markings july 1943

Hi All,
browsing a book I had not read for many years,bombing colours by bowyer.

On page 156 it states

off all the stirlings I recorded in 1943 the most unusual was surely that seen on the evening of july 24 in the usual british camouglage but with usaaf star and bar markings on the fuselage side, she wore only a white star with bars flanking it.

presumably he only saw the sides & undersurfaces of the aircraft,
I was wondering if any info existed on the a/c and if it had upper wing markings.
cheers
Jerry
