In the photos above we can see another "Tokai" and another "Dinah" positioned in front of aircraft number #13. The "Tokai" will be a/c number 26 and the "Dinah" number 25. The "Suisei", positioned in front of a/c number #9 has a white "26" painted on the fuselage side and, interestingly, a star painted over the hinomaru. It is a/c number 28. Behind it is another "Suisei" which will be a/c number 27.

17. Kawasaki Ki-45 "Toryu"

18. Kawasaki Ki-48 "Lily"

19. Kawanishi N1K2-J "Shiden-kai"

20. Nakajima C6N "Saiun"

21. Nakajima C6N "Saiun"

22. Nakajima J1N1 "Gekko"

23. Mitsubishi Ki-46-III "Dinah"

 

You mentioned that a/c #20 & #21 are Nakajima C6N "Saiun", not B6N. Nevertheless note that the air intake under the fuselage is on the starboard side, not on the port as it should be. Could it be that this photo is actually in reverse? Makes more sense if the photographer was on the island of the aircraft carrier.
