The border around the National Insignia is not red but yellow. This was a special case for United States aircraft serving in North Africa during the early days of that campaign. The design was implemented for Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa in Nov 1942, but lingered for several months after the formal end of that operation.

Very interesting pic . The fuselage insignia seems to have the red border over sprayed as well as the red dot , I think it's still visible . The waist gunner openings have the guns removed and the openings closed up in comparison to other pics of that day . The ball turret looks unconventional but it might just be the picture , the tail guns are still there . Judging by the shadows it's late afternoon .
