Japanese L2D1 or L2D2 Navy type 0 Transport Model 11, a license-built copy of a DC-3/C47. About 500 were built, some versions having plywood skins on ailerons and elevators, some using considerable amounts of wood in the structure. After the war, the wood-and-metal versions were tested and found to outperform all-metal DC3s, but there were serious structural faults that grounded them.

L2D 'Tabby'... don't think so

The similarity between the Dakota's on both sides was almost total, except for the the engines and their nacelles

I don't think so. Nose is too pointy on yours, and the nacelles are all wrong.

Here it is

Ki-57 'Topsy'

Despite some analogies with the bombing version (the Sally), the fuselage is more voluminous on the transport version and had no dorsal turret or canopy

I am now in posession of substantial evidence for Mr/Ms Gear being correct.
