Yep, P-51's used British manufactured cardboard/paper 'use once only' aux tanks. They also used metal tanks as well for ferry flights etc. Both tanks were identical in shape/size and the easy way to tell which is which is the paper ones had a shiney finish to them as they were finished in silver dope.
