Mustang pilot suit heat?

One for the Mustang experts - did the P-51D have an electrical plug for electrically heated flying suits?

TIA

By no means a Mustang expert, but the Flight Manual doesn't mention such a facility. It does say "Warm air from aft of the radiator is utilised to heat the cockpit and to defrost the front and left windshield panels".
