Just to muddy the waters: Monokio produced a sheet of - 1's, and Reluctant Dragon features, BuNo 179171 is what is noted, there is a photo, but it's just of the artwork.

If only those who were there at the time would have been thinking of us modelers in the future and cataloged and photographed all the planes flying in WWII it sure would have been helpful!

Apparently, though, they thought they had more pressing problems at the time.
