Snautzer,
Difference in price could be attributed to the fact that Japan was allied and Turkey was not. Also - extra engine adds cost too.

I was wondering & I think asking the same question above: is the aircraft in the document really the one that arrived to Japan?

Also was it sold New or 2nd Hand? If it was previously used - it could explain why many profile artists were putting Yellow rudder on their artworks. Further more, then there should be some obvious repainting of the fuselage - which in the three photos I have seen is not clearly visible.

Strange thing is that various sources point to: 3, 4 & 5 purchased airframes...
