This appears to be an AU-1 post-war ground-attack variant.

Yep! BuNo was 133843 and she  served with VMA-212 on the USS Badeong Strait in Korea, 1952. Had 'LD' tail and wing codes

Note also the clearly seen Non-specular Sea Blue anti glare panel on the top of the forward fuselage.  A number of reference sources, including some of the otherwise excellent Ginter books, fail to mention this fact and would have you think there was no anti glare panel.

Later,
