P51 cockpit for sale serial#

Among the best Mustang researchers I've heard from/talked to, there isn't a firm consensus on which seat type was used per which particular Mustang production run/batch (other than perhaps the P-51D-5-NA and very early Allison Mustangs), since these seats in particular were sub-contracted out/government-furnished equipment (much like how there were two different types of wingtip nav lights used on the D-model Mustangs, depending on which was available at any given time) - to know, per plane, you'd have to see what the seat was in an original wartime-era photo. Both have levers on each side - one to adjust the seat up and down (at the right of the seat), and another to lock/unlock the pilot's harness (usually at the left of the seat). The Warren McArthur and Schick Johnson seats are interchangeable (they mount to the same sized/positioned seat posts), and versions of each are used in both the Mustang and T-6.

Unfortunately there is no data plate or stencil serial left.

I've seen one with adjustment levers on the sides and am curious on ID. I've also been lead to believe the T-6 also had the WM seats. As I understand, 'Little Friends II' covers the subject pretty well but I don't have a copy. My question is, are there any online sources of photos ID'ing the variations of this design. Slightly off topic, but germane to P-51's.The last photo in the cockpit shows what appears to be, or similar to, a Warren McArthur seat. How did the television 'hoarders' shows miss this one? Answer: No neighborhood association in Connie's back 40.
