Imperial Iranian Air Force received 50 F(P) - 47s in 1948. Scarce info list them as 47Ds. Photos show them with the spine fillet. So… D-40-RAs or were they actually 47Ms? Also, did they just fly around, looking pretty for the Shah? Or did they see any active service?
Did you see this thread ?

According to one of the posts, these P-47’s were all “Block 30” D’s…You can see in the picture below the #44-20872 which is mentioned in the same post, over Italy in 1944 :

Startingsome work on “backdating” my 47M to the Persian D-30. Near as I can figure they had the M/N type riveted / smooth cockpit floor.Didthey have the M/N cockpit side panels also? Or the older D lay out? Also,B&W photos are inconclusive (and I am distrustful of CG skins/ models) Were anti glare sections OD or black? Also,still trying to figure out a match for the green for the cowl … looks the same as the green for the national markings. (Vallejo,Mig, AK , hataka)
