It appears this looks like a tomahawk, you can tell this by the air intake on the nose. By the development of the C variant the intake had been streamlined and lowered, also the nose mounted machine guns had been removed.
Tomahawk's were P40C & D's. Kittyhawk's were P40E,F & G's, Warhawks were K's upwards.

Ah, me too. I think it is a beautiful plane and it has something very American about it. While the stang has something of a glamour boy and Cadillac style about it the P40 seems to me to be more grass root cowboy style.
