Sleepy Time Gal at Saipan sometime between 13 Dec 44 and 30 June 45

Here is a photo I have of a Sikorsky R-4 helicopter taken on Saipan between 13 Dec 44 and 30 Jun 45. If anyone has any additional info. on this helicopter I would appreciate anything you have. Thanks

Thanks, based on the statement below that I found on the internet the -3Ps make sense because the photo is titled "Flight Line, Kiangwan Field, Shanghai (China). These were part of a group of photos showing construction of Yonabaru Field (Naval Air Station) on Okinawa. Similarly, a Marine...

I believe that these are F7F-2N Tigercats but would like some help with verifying that. Also is there someplace that has information on tail number identification such as the tail numbers shown in the photo. The photo is late 1945 to early 46. Thanks
