They would have to change the designation. "OV" may have originally meant observation, but in today's nomenclature, it is "Observation, Vertical." If an Observation version of the Osprey were created, it would be "OV-22."
Since OA-10 is already taken by the Warthog, it'd have to be given a new number.

Nope. Wrong again as usual. The designation "V" is for STOL/VTOL, so the Bronco could retain it's OV-10 designation thanks to a generous interpretation of STOL.
