Is the A-36 an Apache or a Mustang?

U. S. aviation historian Joe Baugher writes, “Names such as Invader or Apache have always been associated with the A-36, but the correct name is and always has been Apache. There is a persistent myth that the A-36 was initially called Apache, [but] this story has no basis in fact and was a myth that originated in the 1980s.”

Has anybody ever seen any 1940s paperwork–Dash Ones, POHs–that use the name Apache?
