Look at the cowling and the cockpit window - this is an A-26; it's 44-34134/N4973N/N115RG/FAB 5176, now supposed to be at the Museu de Armes e Veiculos Motorizados Antigos in Brazil, although I haven't found any current photos.

Full image from the LeTourneau Museum Archives (misidentified as N493N thanks to a cocked rudder!)

Good eye because at first glance that first photo sure looks like a short nosed B-25H. No question, though. A nice looking civil A-26.
