P-51 B/C 108 Galon drop tanks

Can anybody provide me with images, schematics or any another resource for the plumbing set up on the 108 gallon drop tank? all of the images that I have are inconclusive without a clear view.

Thanks a lot Micdrow you are a great help, Its a shame that the first image isn't a little higher rez, as its exactly what I am looking for, the second is also very helpful as it enables me to make a few corrections that I hadn't noticed before.
cheers.
* just used the image provided here, and looked up Mustang Sweet and Lovely and found the exact image that I needed. thanks again for the tip.
