This aircraft, N6583D (ex- BuNo 53503), after a long and varied career, (it even appears as one of the "Lost Squadron" Avengers in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind") is still flying with the Commemorative Air Force (former "Confederate Air Force") as N53503.

Looks like it has been fitted with an under-wing ASW spotlight for catching subs on the surface, at night. There is another pod under the starboard wing. Maybe radar ?

May be the same pods seen in PictionID:43100093 -- perhaps standard on the -3E version? www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/19785248339/in/photos...
