It seems to be more like a navy undercarriage that I believe is not optimised for running landing or take-off but for deck ground handling on first sight. I may be wrong and stand to be corrected however albeit with a 'slender' verticle oleo it would appear to be the case. A further increase in AUM with a less robust looking oleo! Maybe it's just a temporary rig to move the fuselage around!

I see it appears to retain the less than optimum nose oleo that again, on first look, seems to retain the fact that in an impact it will crumple into the front crew space therefore poor survivability.
