Leonides powered DHC 2 Beaver

Does anyone here have knowledge of the Mk 2 Beaver made for the British Army, which was powered by the Leonides engine? My research suggests that maybe only one of these planes was made.

In particular, that Beaver had a different fin from the regular Beaver. I presume, in part, because the engine had greater power, and thus torque. But also, I'm expecting that the Loenides turned the opposite direction, and wonder if there is also a fin offset, perhaps opposite to the Mk 1 Beaver to overcome torque from the opposite side?
