This stateside photo appears to show the UAL CHY modification to a gunnery trainer with the Bendix (A-10) chin turret. There is an overseas photo without the chin turret. Someone needs to review the IARC more closely for Project Number(s) and modification center(s) to get more insight into this a/c early history.
who has the card image? Look for DOMestic changed to 92XXX-R. or return to a modification center.
