ho potuto ora notare che la seconda coccarda è applicata sul ventre della semiala destra e che la stessa coccarda è posta su entrambi i lati della fuso

Esatto, sul dorso SOLO e SEMPRE a sinistra e sul ventre a destra.

Qui la spiegazione.

"ON FUSELAGE, OFF TOP RIGHT WING AND BOTTOM LEFT WING

This 55th Pursuit Squadron P-40 over the Golden Gate Bridge displays changes adopted in 1940 for camouflaged aircraft. The national insigne was removed from the lower left and upper right wingtips as a recognition aid, eliminating any advantage the balanced pattern of marking would have given to enemy gunners as an aiming point. This unbalanced pattern was later adopted for all USAAF aircraft. Also in 1940, the national insigne was added to each side of the fuselage. Nationality markings on the rudder were eliminated in 1940 from camouflaged aircraft and in 1942 from all other AAF planes."
