Questions on 2 P-47s

Last year, a P-47 was advertised in Trade-A-Plane: said 12 year recovery effort, had a picture of it assembled and another of fuselage on a pallet. No markings, just a red cowl. Were asking $1.2 mil. Then recently, the P-47 in Tucson, #450 on fuselage, blue cowl, Peruvian markings, I think. Asking $325k.
Are these well-known airframes? Any history, like when they entered the U.S.? Seems odd if 2 "new" Thunderbolts are on the scene with so little publicity. Maybe I just missed hearing or reading about them. Can anyone shed some light on these Jugs? Thanks.
