Per Wikipedia:
"On 7 April 1943, Stauffenberg was involved in driving from one unit to another, directing their movement.[30] Near Mezzouna, his vehicle was part of a column strafed by Kittyhawk (P-40) fighter bombers of the Desert Air Force - most likely from No. 3 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force [31] - and he received multiple severe wounds."

I had thought originally that those did look like P-40s.......

@@illerac84 The RAF used many P-40's in North Africa, they were great there. Its poor performance on high altitudes was not a problem here. After North Africa it was getting replaced by the P-51 but I do believe the P-40 is very underrated and deserve more praise than it gets nowadays (no I'm not American however my country did use P-40's after the war)
