The one in the photo belongs to Planes of Fame.
The other one is probably the Fighter Collection example, which is now in a million pieces under restoration within a few hundred feet of the pictured aircraft. As I recall (and I know this is dangerous...) the ex-Museum of Flying now Fighter Collection aircraft is/was "Little Sir Echo."
Of course the Yanks Museum P-39 is at Chino as well, virtually complete from its own long term restoration.
Sorry, but I can't help with any of the numbers associated with the various aircraft....
