There's some good info on this back on p. 29, 30, 31 of this thread; in a nut shell the two pylons could carry drop tanks or bombs but not both at the same time with the exception of one bomb on one side and one drop tank on the other. Bombs were 500 lb. or 1000 lb. 5 inch rockets could be carried (up to 8 on each side) but they were carried to the exclusion of drop tanks or bombs, except for the case in Jan. '51 when the 4th FIW used one 5 in. rocket on each wing and one drop tank on each wing. There's a good pic of this config on page 29.
