Where to find clear Consolidated LB-30B (British early B-24 versions)?

I am looking for photographs of LB-30B's as reclaimed by the US AAF. They were used in the Pacific at Java, Australia, and the Aleutians. They had a Martin power turret above the wings, hand operated tail guns, and round engine cowlings, not the oval ones as used by regular B-24's. They had long hub Curtiss Electric propellers. The US used the British serials, such as AL-613. The Wright-Paterson Museum website only shows a side view. I want to build one using PBY-3 or 4 engine cowlings as that is what Consolidated used as it's source for parts and engines.
