PS for RR.
I think that the flat engine Wilga`s were the 2C, 32 and 43 (all Continental O-470), 80-550 (re-engined with Cont. TIO-550),, 2000 (Lyc. O-540) and the Wilga C (the 3rd prototype, with O-470)
An more you know of?

Looks Hawker-ish.

...but isn't.

If that's a hook at the back it might have been designed for early carrier operations.
