The RCAF CT-155 Harvard II looks odd with missiles in that scheme.  One almost expects to see wing guns...

#OTD 3 Jun 1949 at Edwards Air Force Base - The XF-90 made its first flight, flown by Lockheed test pilot Tony LeVier. The XF-90 was Lockheed’s entry in the Air Force’s Penetration Fighter competition but never went into production due to being underpowered. This undated Edwards History Office file photo is one of the two XF-90 aircraft built.

I know it's not a photo, but I can't think of anywhere else where this picture applies.

MB.339 in similar scheme with gun pods?  It has been cleared for them on at least the inboard hardpoints.

Twenty-five B-57B and C-model Canberra medium bombers form a giant letter M in front of the Martin Airport—now Martin State Airport—tower at Middle River, Maryland, in this publicity shot from 1954. A total of 202 B-57Bs and 38B-57Cs were built for the U.S. Air Force.

CF-3 Arrival on Ike

Poor weather didn’t prevent F-35C CF-3 and CF-5 from arriving on USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in early October 2015 to kick off the start of Development Test-II. Cdr. Wilson and Lt. Chris Karapostoles both trapped on the rain-soaked deck of the Ike during their first attempt.
