In 1943 the YA-13 didn't exist.
It was converted to the XA-16 in Jan 1935.
It is known to have ended its days at Roosevelt Field, NY as a GIA with an unnamed mechanics school.
Later scrapped in an unknown Long Island junkyard.
Unfortunately no dates...but I see no problems with all the photos located now were taken at the same time with this school.

Being a GIA presumably also ment such airframes were "messed around" a bit since the photo I have of the XA-16 in its prime differs a bit from the photo seen now.

Cheers
Stig
