Quiz #3 - Update

As we saw in the answer to the previous quiz, according to Akimoto, two "Tokai" were modified as trainers. 
Let's remember the original photo. The aircraft on the left is certainly one of these two trainers. We can't see enough details to confirm whether the aircraft on the right side is also a trainer.

Well, here's another "Tokai" trainer photo, from here, found at the end of the war, and it is not one of the aircraft found in the photo above (none of the aircraft in the top photo have their wing leading edge damaged). 

There are two possibilities; either the aircraft on the right side of the top photo is not a trainer or more than two "Tokai" were modified. A small mystery!
