Looks like a B-36, but the nose seems wonky...

B36?

I'd say XB-36 prototype or a development mock-up: no jets, single-wheel main landing gear and different nose section than production aircraft.

Yes, but this was the production model after the XB-36
It is the Convair B-36B Peacemaker. 73 were constructed
The second is the Convair B-36J. The final version.
Somewhere between 152 & 160 were built if my math is close. Edit: way off about 280.
