Mohawk IV Radios In Burma?

[Old Man]

I have nearly finished a 1/72 model of a 155 Sqdn Mohawk IV in late 1943. I recently took another look at this well-known picture...

 

It seems to me that looking from the wing-tip to the fin of both 'F' and 'B', lines can be observed that are consistent with the radio equipment Curtiss installed in P-36s delivered to the USAAC.

 

Is it possible Mohawks in Burma were using pre-war US radios in August 1943?

 

I am open to suggestions I have discovered Professor Lowell's canals on Mars, and seeing things that aren't there. In fact, I'd kind of rather they weren't, it's a difficult radio array to represent in small scale. But I'm pretty sure I do see them....
