Texgunner Could they be lights? It seems like I've read of aircraft that carried lights on different parts of the plane that were somehow used in marksmanship training.

The infamous "flying pinball machine". Look it up. IIRC, they were a P-63s with extra armor, painted in a bright color. Aerial gunner students fired .50 calber machine guns at them using wooden bullets that would shatter on impact rather than damage the aircraft. If the aircraft was hit. It had some sort of flashing light to let the gunner and instructor know that the gunner student was hitting the target.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

They are inspection stickers put on at the factory to close out sections of the aircraft.
"All you mugs need to get busy building, and post pics!"
Like some folks say, google is your friend. I love to do image searches, see what I can find and share it. I am glad that you guys like it. The Allison Mustang sure was a sleek bird! Gary, I have no idea about the white dots. On the nose area they seem to be where fasteners wouldbe for some access panels, but on the rest of the fuselage your guess is as good as mine.
Hey Stik, what are the white "dots" on the plain OD Mustang? And, yeah, thanks for those pics.

Looking at period photos, there do not seem to be any stencils visible
