B-26s as in Marauder?

Or B-26s as in Invader?

Marauders were known as the "Baltimore Whore" because it had no visible means of support. We all have ready or heard that one, in connection with the short wing span, so this should leave out the Marauders, I think.

Invaders? The shape of the wings in the pictures, and the positioning of what look like engines, would suggest the version of the B-57 (RB-57) used for high altitude flight, and I believe there was another version, the WB-57 (??) for weather recon? One at least that I have seen, was operated by NASA, and was located in Houston.

So, IMHO those could very well be B-57s.
