I concur, it looks like an early-model Neptune to me. The Halifax came to mind, but the wingroots are much too far aft for that; the windshield/canopy looks rather like a PV-2 Harpoon, which of course was the Neptune's predecessor from Lockheed. The fuselage looks deeper than it is because, well, from all appearances "her arse was on fire" and most of the rear end has been reduced to ashes...
