Hello
Concerning Wallaroo 2...My cousin, Bob Colburn (MCMANUS. Crew) RO flew in
42-31405 most of his missions. First time in Wallaroo 2 was Mission 101
01/29/1944. He says that if his memory is correct, Wallaroo 2  was printed
on the nose in yellow lettering and the "2" was a Roman numeral "2".
Hope this will be of some help
