Default Oxnard AFB and F-107 Hulk

I visited Oxnard AFB around 1965, and saw a hulk near the perimeter fence.
It appeared to be the remains of a North American F-107, by virtue of the
intake above the cockpit. It was resting on it's belly, no wings that I can
recollect. I took a photo which I have misplaced.

Does anyone have any information regarding this?

Don asked about the F-107 hulk at Oxnard:

Where did Pima County Air Museum get theirs? They had a slightly damaged but
rebuilt F-107 about 1986'ish.

My guess would be the remains of the third F-107, 55-5120. This airplane
was damaged and scrapped while serving with NASA. The other two F-107s
survived; after being retired by NASA 55-5118 was turned over to the Pima
Air Museum in Tucson, and 55-5119 went to the USAF Museum.

There used to be one at the old Tallmantz Museum at Orange County (now
John Wayne) Airport about 1964. I don't know which one, though.
