P-47 D22 Razorback propeller blades

Looks like P-47 had several propeller options, which one is included in BoN version?

The P-47D-22 uses the Hamilton standard Paddle prop.

 

(The D-22 was the First P-47 to be produced with a Paddle prop as factory standard,

though most of the Older P-47s were retrofitted with Paddle props when they became available starting in the winter of 43-44).

 

In comparison our D-28 uses the AO Smith Asymmetrical prop

 

(Though the Curtiss electric Paddle prop was factory standard for the D-28

but since it was possible to retrofit P-47s with prop blades other then the factory standard having a D-28 with the AO Smith prop was far from unique.)
