Are you saying that you can visually ID those planes with enough confidence to post a list without fear of being corrected?
If so, I am in awe of your knowledge.

I thought the P-51B was in the game, not the P-51A. Nice list and thank you very much for posting!

It could be possible that instead of the P51A they included the P51B, since to my knowledge the only difference were the engine and different bomb racks...

The P51B had a rebuild radiator and a completely different gun armament as well as the new engine compared to the older P51A, but it would be pretty easy to combine elements of the P51A and P51D models to make a B or C model. However the plane shown on the website is clearly the Allison engined A, so its probably just a typo and the person putting it up meant to write P51A instead of P51B.
