Are you talking wartime or post war use?  I am mainly thinking of the RAAF/RNZAF ones in wartime use and thus with wartime Pacific roundels etc.

B-26 with a ATAR

From http://www.stratisc.org/Mirage-Triton_8.htm: (http://www.stratisc.org/Mirage-Triton_8.htm:)

(in French: "Les essais en vol sur avion porteur B-26 Marauder permettent, dès l'automne 1950, d'explorer le comportement de l'ATAR en altitude et de commencer à fixer les lois de régulation.")
"In flight tests on B-26 test-plane allow, as soon as 1950 fall, to explore the behaviour of the ATAR jet in altitude and set the regulation laws."

A jet version of the B-26 would be nice. Either with podded engines (like the XB-42A):

Or an internal single or dual jet version like the French ATAR installation above or the XB-43.
