I think they might have borrowed an idea or two from the Mustang on that one.

That is not a radiator below the fuselage but the turbocharger.

And if you take that position, you could just as easily say that the Mustang borrowed design ideas from the Hurricane.

I just read a book about the 190D series.The engineers were not to happy with how it came out calling it a Kangaroo.The test pilot Hans Sander said it was unstable in climb,impossible to trim and a tendency to snake at altitude.This was after the plane almost killed him on landing!He considered the aircraft a complete failure.

The 190C seems like it would have been interesting.
