An interesting pair of production lines. Is that a Republic or a Curtiss factory? The two leading P-40s appear to be different models.

Looking at the aircraft in the line to the left in the image, those
look to be P47-Ds. So I would say a Republic factory.

....and I agree the two leading P-40s look to have quite different upper

Curtis P-36 Hawks (Mohawks) if I am not mistaken.
Curtiss Hawk Model 75

Your are correct they are P-47G
354 P-47Gs were produced at the Curtiss works (Buffalo NY) under license.
