A20B, probably Italy around 1944.

I've looked at the larger photos but can't make anything out at all. I looked through this reference: https://media.defense.gov/2010/Dec/02/2001329899/-1/-1/0/AFD-101202-002.pdf but didn't make it all the way through. There are several units that use a triangle but none that I could see that matched.

Does MATS mean anything to you? I'm thinking Military Air Transport Service, but I'm not sure that's actually what those letters are.
The other thing is - that wasn't started until 1948. This image is supposedly from a wartime photo.

By the way, I did mange to make it through all 853 pages of that document. There are indeed many squadrons that used a triangle in some fashion, but none I was looking for. For anyone not very computer savvy like myself, I imagine you can do a control F to search for particular aircraft, particular missions, etc... Very useful.
