There are many variations in the "Uncle Buck" artwork throughout WWII. Some are better that others and many original examples and photos are on display at the New England Air Museum in CT.
NEAM has the entire 57th FG archives and a display focused on their history. They might be a good resource for you. I have the unit history book at home with lots of photos. PM me and I'll see what I can dig up and scan for you.
