LOL, typo eh ;) Didn't think any P-36's operated from PNG but was ready to be surprised. After checking through some of me refs I've come up with the following conclusions (not exactly nailing it on the head though)

Zero's started with 2 x 7.7mm MGs and 2 x 20mm cannons, upgrading to 13.2mm MGs on later marks.

Oscar's were armed with either 2 x 7.7's or 1 x 7.7 and 1 x 12.7 and even 2 x 12.7's on later marks so we might have a winner here...

..but then there's always the KI61 which had 2 2x 20mm's and 2 x 12.7's so the competition is wide open really as the two contenders both saw action over PNG as I'm guessing this is where this P-39 originated from.
