Early USAAF trainer ID please

Can anyone ID this aircraft from the SDASM Archive please? I thinking either something Consolidated or pre-PT-13/A75 Stearman. Anyone?

Specifically, the Stearman BT-5 (also designated BT-3/XPT-9/XPT-943).
Interestingly, this photo is also from the SDASM flickr archive:
