Hi Ed. The P-40K no.171 is "Evelyn II" flown by E W Richardson in 1943 ( 75/23) before the group moved their numbers to the tail, added a white tip to spinner ( squadron colour) and his 2 squadron leader's bands; the re-painting covered the 75th shark badge on the fin.
The star insignia ( no bars) was top left-bottom right only. Just visible is the second bomb shackle underneath.
