What became of the Mantz B-25...?

There were actually several. Two for sure, and I think three, though not all at the same time. I believe at least one and maybe all of them are still around.

Mantz had 2 camera planes and as I recall one crashed on a drug run after being sold.

One of them WAS in San Antonio with a John Lister, I believe. Don't know if he still has it.

It was a rare H, too, not the much more common J.
