yes, the starboard side of LBG is obviously raised and a little more exposed.
It appears to be bleached and sandblasted considerably more.
I have another photo, without a person, and there is still no more to be seen.

This might help. You can see a very faded '64' on the starboard side but unfortunately the view of the co-pilots window area is obscured by the man looking in the window.

from my investigations LBG carried 64 on both sides
and the name "LADY be Good" below the CoPilots window.

there is no photographic evidence of this that I can find...but...
-I have information from Museum sources
-an existing AirForce Museum scale model features the name
-and lets face it, its odd to not have seen the name painted on aircraft at that time

I have taken some artistic license, and based on what I see in the museum information
and what I know about other painted lettering at that time, this is what I have created:

Good Morning Folks,
Can anyone tell me if there was other nose art on LBG besides the 64? I'm considering a project on the LBG prior to it's loss on 4 Apr 43.
