David,
I attached a pic of a Sidewinder from Wikipedia and it is different from
the one attached to the Mig's hardpoint. I will have to go back to the
Museum and ask the volunteers if they know and get the answer back to you.
Plus, I'll get you a more detailed shot of the missile. Fortunately, I live
within 5 minutes drive from the NMUSAF and will have an answer for you in
fairly short order.

It's an AIM 9B on that MiG. Check out the AIM 9B's on the F-4C I have
attached from my other series taken at the NMUSAF. They're identical.

The yellow and brown color bands identify it as a US made 9B Sidewinder.
