That was originally an RF-86F, one of 18 converted by Mitsubishi for
the Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF). The bulges on both sides contained
the electronic photo-surveillance packages using K-17 and K-22 cameras.
The combat armament of the six .50 guns were removed when the camera
packages were installed.
The Estrella Warbird Museum provided this other information regarding
this particular AC:
"Footnote: It was originally assumed that the aircraft was built by
Mitsubishi under license from North American because it was a photo
reconnaissance version of the fighter that was sold back by the
Japanese to the US Navy to be used as a drone. It was confirmed the
aircraft serial number from the Navy's paperwork with the data plate on
the forward part of the fuselage. F-86F, S/N 52-4758 was built by North
American in southern California for the USAF. Appearantly after
arriving in Japan it was sold to the Japanese as part the Military
Assistance Program. Mitsubishi later did build F-86F's under license,
when North American was building later versions for the USAF. While
flying for Japan, it was given the serial number 52-7401. At some time
Mitsubishi converted the aircraft to an RF-86F. The aircraft is painted
as it would have appreared flying for the USAF in Korean in 1952 or
1953."
