nope; that one came later. Hint: your previous guess was closer to the mark...both in time and intended function. The puzzle's XB-** plane was noted for lack of drag-inducing protuberances.

nope; i'm shocked you don't have the diecast model in your mancave's collection! note the two Allison engines and long driveshafts to the two rear counter-valing propellers.
Quote:
With the jet engines added (4 engines??!!)to the first prototype, the aircraft was redesignated as the Douglas XB-42A. The 1,600 lbf (7.12 kN) thrust jet engines were mounted under the aircraft’s wings. New flaps were installed that were notched behind the jet engines. In 2010, the XB-42A was transferred to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. The aircraft, along with second XB-43 prototype, will eventually be restored for static display.
OVER to Ostfriese!
