Desperately need B-26 Marauder help (pix inside)

[Jay Barfoot]

I plan to model the B-26 "Ginny Lou" pictured below using the 1/72 Hasegawa kit. But there is still some info about Ginny that I don't know. Specifically, I need help determining serial number and individual aircraft letter code. If there's anyone out there that can help me, I'd appreciate it.

Known facts from the pilot...

9th AF

323rd Bomb Group (Medium)

455th Bomb Squadron

Known facts from the pictures...

Either a B or C model B-26 Marauder

Delivered in Olive Drab top and Neutral Gray under surfaces.

In Iceland in mid '43 and England in Aug '44

Had seen combat by Aug '44 due to combat repair patches on nose

Iceland May’43

Beaulieu, England, Aug ‘44

Crew left to right:

Top Row – Bill Whitman (Pilot), Chuck Leonard (Bombardier/Navigator), Wallace Pharr (Tail Gunner)

Bottom Row – Herb Moore (Engineer), Hank Moen (Pilot), Jim Hoover (Radio Operator/Waist Gunner)

Assumptions

Horizontal white stripe across vertical stab and rudder (323BG marking)

"YU" on both sides of rear fuselage (two letter 455BS code)

"Ginny Lou" written in Yellow (Doesn't match the Neutral Gray underneath but too dark for white)

Probably wore "invasion stripes" at some point in its career

Most likely looked similar to the bottom left image at this link http://www.markstyling.com/b26_research.07.htm

I've searched the web intensively and spoken with the pilot but I just can't find the info. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jay
