1.  On what model P-47D did the cockpit floor go from corrugated to flat sheet metal?  I *think* I've narrowed it to the runs D-25RE & RA to the D-30RE & RA, but cannot nail it down further.

 

2.  Were the Hamilton-Standard and Curtiss Electric props interchangeable on the later Ds.  My sources indicate that the D-25RE and D-27RE blocks came came with Ham-Stan props "standard" (standard..., get it, STANDARD...?  I crack myself up!).  All blocks of the bubbletop D had the R-2800-59 motor that turned all three different props listed for the Ds depending on the block and plant.  Were there any obscure and not-readily visible features specific to the type of prop that would have to b e installed/removed to accommodate a different prop?

 

Thanks for any insight you can offer.
