Nope. The marking you are looking at is about to vanish into a blue-white ring-set...

Anybody know why on the right wing there is what looks like a hinged trim piece on the flap only on the top only? Was looking at the one in Mesa, AZ today and they were asking about it...

Or the AWM. Is there a national collection anywhere that has one, or a wreck?

Ostensibly, there's one (an A-35 version) in Oz! Check out:

Yes, there's a complete Vengeance at the Camden Museum of Aviation, NSW, Aus - used to engine run some years ago. Currently, the museum's going through a management change after the demise of the owner.
There are photos in the archives, here, IIRC.
There's the remains of 2 - 3 with Precision Aerospace at Wangaratta, Vic, Aus, as part of a plan to restore to fly. Currently in reserve awaiting other projects being finished.
AFAIK, that's it. As to the Vengeance being 'significant', I think it is, like Oscar, but given every Allied force spent all their efforts side-lining it, I'm not surprised no national public collection anywhere has one.

There are no Vengeances in the US... were you referring to an Avenger?
Cheers,
