What was the normal load of ammo per gun for the P-51B/C and the P-51D?

Several sources show the following:

P-51B/C
4- 50 cal guns
350 rounds each for the two inboard guns and 280 rounds each for the two
outboard guns

P-51D
6-50 cal guns
400 rounds each for the two inboard guns and 270 rounds each for the four
outboard guns

Thanks, someone asked me the other day and I WAG'd it at about 300 per gun.
