That's an artistic roundel on the plane in the rear.

Nope. That's the Brazilian AF's insignia painted over USAAC's insignia. This
had to be done because of ID problems, inclusing some of our P-47's almost
being attacked by RAF Spitfires in one occasion. When the Brazilian P-47's
arrived at Tarquinia, they had only the Brazilian markings painted on four
positions on the wings and none on the fuselage, as seen in this pictu

Then, because of these ID problems, it was decided to apply the US "Star and
Bars" following the standart of american P-47's and paint the Brazilian
"Star" over them.

Cheers.
