The Martin Baker Mb5

[Airborne]

Have a look at this baby.
This is the Martin Baker Mb5 made by the ejection seat company.
Produced in 1944 as an advanced 400 mph plus fighter, it failed to get enough interest from the British War Cabinet. With the War visably won and jet aircraft like the Vampire and Meteor already flying and the Supermarine Swift on the drawing board, the day of the piston engined fighter was coming to an end.

You can see the P-51 influence there Wildcat.
The contra rotating prop on the Mb5 would be the main difference mate.
