The US did use them but redesignated them L and G
Never knew the national guard rocked them. I never really paid much attention to what they ran other than the F-89’s and some of the more recent…ish like Phantoms and such.

Ye apparently the 93rd fighter interceptor squad that was stationed in New Mexico also used them in 1952
Note though that USAF Sabredogs had the all-rocket armament that never really worked, the cannons were only in export vehicles (hence why the F-86H is a much better addition)
