Any SWAGs on the colors of this spinner? 77Sqn., RAAF. Iwakuni, Japan. 1950. Red rear, black forward? Any info on which a/c it is? (68- 806 is next door, not that that means anything.)

Interesting…
This 1950 photo at Iwakuni shows Red/White/Blue spinners on 77 Squadron P-51s
and this one appears to have a Dark Blue spinner… but no photo unit or location ID

Iwakuni, Japan. British Commonwealth Occupation Force. Has the 3 letter fuselage code. Actually helps. Seen some suggestions the red/white/ blue spinners were Korean war, others say they switched to the solid color during the war. This seems to point that solid was pre/ early Korean war. Have seen a couple -3 pics of the airfield with both spinner schemes.
