Markings on the nose reveal this Privateer's past as fire-fighting air tanker C30.

Close-up look at the starboard ERCO 250TH waist turret. These turrets were originally fitted with two 0.50 caliber machine guns, mounted side-by-side.

I believe that this engine (like the other three on the aircraft) are Wright R-2600 radials, fitted under a Supplemental Type Certificate obtained by Hawkins & Powers around 1970.
Replacing the original P&W R-1830s, the R-2600s provided increased power that served the Privateer well in its role as an air tanker.
