Yes, I've met quite a few P-51 pilots and they weaved over the formations. It basically depended how the Squadron Leader or Group leader wanted to position the escorting fighters. I've studied Preddy's tactic and it does work pretty well, he was known to flying outside the bomber boxes and positioning his flight on either side of the Bomber formations.
