While some people the D models all had the dorsal fins on the stab, in fact the B/C's had them as well due to the well know issue of the horizontal stab getting ripped of when entering a snap spin. The feild was then told the stabilizer should had to be reinforced according to T.O. 01-60J-18 from April 8th of '44 and a dorsal fin should be installed. Kits were sent to overseas units allowing these upgrades to be completed.

in fact the B/C's had them (dorsal fins) as well


Note that they had them after April 1944, according to the details of Merlin's post.
If you're modelling an aircraft that operated primarily before D-Day, you should consider this.

Then again, there is this famous photo that shows P-51Ds (both with and without fillet) operating
with a P-51B that does not have a fillet. And all planes have invasion stripes (post May 1944).

Carefully study the details of the actual plane (scheme) you intend to replicate. Cheers
