Two Corsairs To Be Identified

In 1995 I attended the Dayton air show. There were two beautiful Corsairs in attendance. The problem was that the air show goers did not have access to these two Corsairs for a walkk around. Unfortunately I was not able to get the civil registrations. With the aid of the zoom lens I was able to get some good pictures. I checked the Warbirds Registry and the Living Legends web pages and discovered that one of them was 124669/N4901W, however I have not been able to identify the other. Here is a description...
- might be an F4U-4 (but I am not an expert)
- USN markings over all dark blue
- a yellow tip on the vertical tail
- "112" on the cowl
- "12" on landing gear doors
- "F" on the tail
...for all I know the paint scheme may have been changed since I got my picture. Does anyone know the ID of this Corsair?
Regards,
Mike
