Hi Harv. Please don't get offended .
To me it just looks like a lot of dust has landed on the boob.
Exhaust streaks on a P-38 would look best if sprayed on with an air brush ( very thinned mixture )
If you look at period pictures of P-38's they streak way back to the end in a tapering manner .

Yes, but I'm thinking the night missions were very long which means most of the time they flew on Autu lean.
That makes for long nearly white plumes . The amount and recency of some TLC would also play a part.
Both engines don't have to necessarily be the same . All depends on it's health and settings.

:tomato I'm starting to worry you're gonna start disliking me shortly .
Looking at it from here, the original looks like a shade of rust .
Picture # 1 to me looks similar to Tamiya XF 55 Deck tan .
Exhaust stain vary a lot They usually include some beige color similar to XF 78 wooden deck tan
and if run very lean for long periods it will also look to be a very light gray. Nearly white.
Keep in mind that it winds up being layers of different shades which makes it difficult to give you a formula.
