Part from P-51B of P-51D?




Hi, the photograph shows a bracket for the hydraulic hand pump support in the fuselage. The part number is 102-58607. It was found in Lake Wolderwijd, former lake IJsselmeer aka Zuiderzee. Most logical is that the part is from P-51D 44-13411 334FS/4FG which crashed on 20 November 1944 in the lake: several parts of that machine have been found and most part of the plane was salvaged in 1970. According to the Parts Catalog 01-60JD-4 of 1 June 1944 the bracket is from a P-51 B-model.. The Parts Catalog from the P-51D doesn't mention this part...who can clarify?
