Look at the nose of the C-97; it is rounded. The Curtiss C-46, and the De Havilland Comet both have spitzer-shaped bullet noses.

Ah, for the pinched fuselage. You are right: The C-97 had a pinched fuselage. I forgot about that one.

And the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, which was an adaptation of the C-97, and which was used for the later creation of the Guppy.
