I believe this transparency must have migrated from another file - the part being assembled in the nose door for a Consolidated C-87 'Liberator Express,' probably taken at Consolidated's Fort Worth plant.

That patriotic woman on the right is giving up her right arm for the war effort. And she's happy to do so!
A candid view of one of the women workers touching up the U.S. Army Air Forces insignia on the side of the fuselage of a "Vengeance" dive bomber manufactured at Vultee's Nashville division, Tennessee (LOC)

This insignia was not used after May 1942

The insignia regs deleted the 'meatball' starting May '42, but that didn't necessarily mean the manufacturers automatically (and immediately) received the notification to change. I'm betting that '1943 Feb.' reference was when the transparency was filed with the LOC. The bigger puzzle to me is, What the heck is she painting on? It's not a Vengeance fuselage, it's some kind of fabric-covered wing. What was Vultee building under license at that time (she's wearing a Vultee patch on her shirt) that would have had fabric-covered wings?

I think I just figured out the answer to my own question - most likely a Stinson/Vultee L-1 Vigilant wing panel - I believe you're looking at the top side of a left wing assembly.
