RCAF,
Have you thought something more and proven and/or designed for COIN like the OV-10 Bronco? Or if you want something more WWII-ish, the good old Skyraider? With these multirole planes you carry a lot more munitions, plus they can carry passengers too.
While the Mustang certainly can carry out ground-attack roles (and tangle with any 4th Reich FW-190s to boot) they would seem a little on the exotic side.
