Rolls-Royce Mustang Mk.X
Five prototype conversions only - two Mustang Mk.I airframes were initially trial fitted with Rolls-Royce Merlin 65 engines in mid-late 1942, in order to test the performance of the aircraft with a powerplant better adapted to medium/high altitudes. The successful conversion of the Packard V-1650 Merlin-powered NAA P-51B/C equivalent rendered this experiment as superfluous. Although the conversions were highly successful, the planned production of 500 examples was cancelled.
Commonwealth CA-17 Mustang Mk.20 - 80 Australian assembled P-51Ds, (100 delivered as kits but only 80 assembled).
Commonwealth CA-18 Mustang Mk. 21, Mk.22 and Mk.23 - Licence production of 120 of the P-51D model, of which the Mk.21 and Mk.22 used the American-built Packard V-1650-3 or V-1650-7 and the Mk.23, which followed the Mk.21, was powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin 66 or Merlin 70 engines. 170 were ordered but only 120 were built.
