Frankford on D-Day

I’m looking for information on USS Frankford’s configuration on D-Day. Photos of her are somewhat few and far between. I know she received twin and quad Bofors by 1945, but her precise D-Day configuration and paint scheme remains a mystery to me. I’d like to convert a Dragon destroyer model into her using the old Admiralty square bridge conversion lurking in the stash. Does anyone know what her actual configuration was when she cruised along Omaha Beach nearly scraping bottom while banging away at the German defenses? And, which Dragon Gleaves/Livermore/Benson class model would be the best starting point? Many thanks, Bob
