Re: a small Mustang part to identify

The P-51B and D had quite a few parts from the earlier Allison engined airframes. Most of the changes from P-51 to P51B were from dropping the wing, completely modifying the lower and upper cowl, re-designing the radiator/oil cooler, intake cowl, etc.

Even if changes were made to a 97- series part number, unless it was a radical change it would just been updated through ECO to a dash number of that same part and then added to the BOM on the P-51B (and D)
