Wow! Great looking craft!

What is the long barreled weapon right at the bow(not the 20MM cannon), and the other one near the fantail?

I believe that the bow gun is a 37 mm Automatic Gun, M4. Most likely ‘liberated’ from a Army Air Corp from crashed P-39.

The one at the stern is a Bofors 40mm anti aircraft cannon. Don’t have any idea ablut the popgun up at the bow.
