The first two XP-51's were 41-038 and 41-039, pulled from RAF production to be kept and evaluated by the USAAC/USAAF. The EAA example is 41-038, and I believe the vision/plan behind the new finish/paint scheme on the restored 43-6006/N51Z is that of the other XP-51, 41-039.

Here are a few pictures durning the restoration of 43-6006. It was always our plan to restore it as the XP-51 41-039. We will be applying the finishing touches over the next few weeks.
