Malcolm Rosholt's book "Days of Ching Pao" has a photo of a similarly marked P-51B/C razorback. The caption notes the person in the foreground as an armourer of the 26th Fighter Squadron, and the first two tail numbers are 25...(the 3rd is not visible). The field, with low hills surrounding (perhaps the same field as this photo) is noted as Nanning in 1944.

So, Stig's tail number data seems to confirm a 26FS aircraft. Any idea where the 907th Engineers HQ was based?

There's another photo in the book of a wavy-shark-mouth P-51B/C razorback captioned: "Louis Hughes, one time commander of the 51st Fighter Group, poses with Steve Nagy in front of the 'Stenka Henna" (P-51 nose name above exhausts, tail number not visible), probably at Kunming, in January 1945."
