There is a negative # NASA 65518AC in the National Archives for 2102468 and a picture on page 42 in the 8th Air Force Yearbook published by Newsfoto yearbooks of San Angelo TX.  

There are several of Shade Ruff II.  NASA #'s A65440AC, 65451AC, 65460AC, B65705AC, and B65782AC.  These shots may be jacket nose art, crew shots, or just plane shots. One of these days, I'll find out what the prefixes and suffixes mean.......

Tag-a-long/Duke's Mixture has one archive negative - NASA #65742AC, and a picture (probably nose art) in Valant's book on nose art, plus a photo in McDowell's book "Flying Fortress: The Boeing B-17" on page 42.
