I do think these are two different wrecks.

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'.........................
