However, many vehicles used in WWII had quite sort design and development periods, the P-51 Mustang being one of them.

True but IMHO that is because they utilized "off the shelf" TL6 materials rather then "true" TL7 designs and materials. The P-51 Mustang's engine for example was an Allison V-1710 which dated from 1930 (though it had seen improvements since then).
