An earlier (but undated) form of the nose art is seen in this enlarged crop of the photo (below) of the J.C. Brown crew, who arrived in Rattlesden in March 1944.
Photo taken sometime after January 1945 when Uninvited was declared war-weary, and relegated to non-combat operations; returned to Kingman and was scrapped in 1946.
Similar photo, but has definite differences, so not just a cropped version of the previous photo.
