Looks All-American,possibly Navy,piston,
G'day sycamore. "Yes" to the above. There was also a trainer version but the two-place shown above has no flight controls in the back seat as his job was observer/radar operator. Space was limited so the radar pod was carried on one of the bomb racks.

Although prop driven the original plan was for a composite powered machine, supplemented with a Westinghouse jet engine.

First flight was in 1947 and a large one-piece canopy covered both cockpits.
