I believe this is a Navy version of the B-26 Martin Marauder but have no idea what type/variation, the "things" on the wing tips I have no idea. Any help appreciated.

The aircraft is a P2V Neptune. This site will give you more information on the various subtypes:

It is an anti-shipping/anti-submarine patrol aircraft. The "things" on the wings are fuel tanks. The port tank houses an additional search radar in the tip. The starboard, a searchlight.

 

Tail code "7V" was for the Reserve Glenview, Illinois location.
