However, I'm very curious as to how CXT knew the difference, as the only visible alteration that I could see between the C-47 and the L2D is in the tail... and you can't see that in this picture.

My 'logic' went as follows - the plane looked like a C-47, but something felt off about it AND the characters at the nose gave me a general location. It did not have the insignia of the Nationalists/KMT/ROC. The only other nation that operated C-47/DC-3 and variants in Asia that would be of interest was the Japanese, who had their own license to build their own version.
However, as Wonderduck noted, the most telling feature to determine whether it was a C-47/DC-3 or L2D is hidden by the angle of the photo. That would have been an immediate give-away.

Also is Pete is correct about the extra windows in the cockpit. In retrospect, that was the first thing about the plane that made it look 'off' to me, though it took me a while to realize exactly what.
