Image of M83s dropped by US in Italy, 1945

I came across this incorrectly captioned picture: not German SD2s but a rare image of the US copy, dropped in March 1945. I am guessing the image was one of a sequence. If so, is anyone able to post more of the sequence - or, indeed, any images of M83s dropped during WW2? I'd also be really interested to see M83s from Korea (well documented but not often photographed) or Vietnam (not well-documented or photographed). All the best. A
