No I would say it is a B-24H - the large glazed nose is more rounded/bulbous to match the size/shape of the removed/deleted turret,the glazing is very different to the earlier models.
I would say it is a specifically built nose section for better visibility during night ops.
There are a couple of pics of B-24H 'Miss Fitts' in the carpetbaggers sources which clearly shows the more rounded profile of this type of glazed nose.
