See http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:CY-VMflJnZ4J:www.447bg.com/library/aircraft/ac_gallery_3.html+42-107003&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&ie=UTF-8
It shows 42-107003 as bare metal, it was delivered to Tulsa1/23/44.It went to 447th BG.
42-107004 just one number higher was delivered to Tulsa same date.
Being just one serial number higher I think you could assume it was also bare metal.
Seen a black and white photo of 42-107006 and it appears to be bare metal.
