I am not sure, all I know is that the day this was film is the day it got a new owner, I can not remember his name, but I do know he bought it in Florida that day. He was heading back to California, fortunately he stop at The Bobby Chain Airport in Hattiesburg, Miss. to refuel.
If this will answer your question he said the plane was built in 1945.

Most of the Merlin engines were Packard Merlins built under license from Rolls Royce.

Yes, according to Robert Gruenhagen's book "Mustang", virtually ALL P-51 B, C and D's had Packard Merlin engines in them.
