Does the PBJ-1J have a radar on its wing?

Following the AAFAC format, the Marine Mitchells had search radar in a retractable radome replacing the remotely operated ventral turret. Later D and J series had nose-mounted APS-3 radar; and later still, J and H series mounted radar in the starboard wingtip.

I thought that was a counter weight for the dummy thick 75mm gun in the leftish side of the fusilage

Ever heard of the Gerät 104? A 14 inch gun is Aku's perfect thiccness.

It is. Hopefully Gaijin will add it soon.

Does the f6f-5n have the same radar?

The Hellcat has AN/APS-6 RADAR. The PBJ has APS-3.

Both of the PBJs should have a bomb sight.... Any way.

Where would it go? You want them to add a fake bomb sight?

The B-25 bombsite is in the nose. The PBJ aint got one, just fatty guns.

Yes, but it’s an air-to-surface radar used for tracking ships. It has no utility against aircraft.
Almost all radar has utility against aircraft - and Gaijin are well aware of that.
