The aft wing root looks the same.
If there was skin where the red outlines are, these two would look quite similar.
The yellow outline looks like a pontoon mast fairing, the mast probably taken away with the pontoon when it detached.
I do believe this is a Aichi E13A.
Gad. I hate it when I question an expert in the media, simply because they never get any of this stuff right...and then they are right! I guess if they had called it a "Heavy Bomber", "battleship" or something like that that would have been expected.
Just be glad they didn't call it a 'Glock AK-15 Fully Automatic Streetsweeper Assault Aircraft'.........................
