    There were two versions of wing configurations on the F84.
    The early version wing was straight. The later version was swept.
    Hard to tell for the weeds and what looks like severe damage to the left wing.

    Not really that tough! The swept-wing F-84F also had a different swept-back vertical tail than the straight-wing F-84 B-G. Based on the tail, the photo is of a straight-wing F-84 B-G.

    Like I said.....looking at both just a few days ago is a big help!
