While looking at some of this guy's other videos I found this one. Must have been shot shortly after returning from the making of the movie in the UK.

I find it helpful to put a bit of a brief description in the post before linking random youtube videos. This is the B-17 from "The War Lover" in Chicago in 1962 after the movie production. Couple interesting things stood out to me. No tail guns or top turret, and the large cargo door at the normal right side waist gunner position.

If I recall correctly, that ball turret on Fuddy Duddy is sawed in half and bolted to the outside of the fuselage.

At least it appears they got the proportions on the insignia right.
