With the L and the N one armament option would be to remove two .50cals and ammo for even more light weight performance. This was commonly done although many were reverted back to 6 .50cal standard in the field.

Since the P-40 is getting some love, it might also be worth checking whether there were any uniquely Soviet or British/Commonwealth load-outs.

Certainly, some of the early P-40/Hawk 81 series were armed with just British armament and ordinance. This might have been true for later ones as well. Also, I believe that it was typical for Soviet P-40s to be equipped with Soviet ordinance although they kept the U.S. guns.
