Take a look at posts 5 and 54 on this page

First oen is F-102 for sure

but post 54, look at the black stripe under GWN's shoulder...that looks pretty wide, maybe wide enough to go to the bottom insterad of the intake like post 5 would be

is post 54 an F-106?

Nope. In the background you can see an F-102 tail fin. The F-102 front windscreen had a rounded edge where the windscreen met the canopy.

The F-106 had a triangle shaped windscreen where it joined with the canopy.

When I was at Perrin the side canopy windows were prime cumshaw items. When they were no longer fit for flight duty and were sent to the scrap heap they were welded into met farmes and sold as cocktail tables. Never could get high enough on a list to get one!
