IMHO , that's not the Hawker Osprey. It is one of the six British built floatplane Fairey Fox Mk.IV converted with Hispano-Suiza 12Ybrs engine from Fairey Fox II. These were made for the Peruvian Air Force and delivered in October 1933. Later, the biplanes with the floats removed carried out observation duties in the Ecuadorian-Peruvian war in 1941. The differences between the Fox and the Osprey can be noticed. The bottom wings without the dihedral, the large radiator under the fuselage, two oval slots ( airintakes ) at the front bottom engine cowling with small rectangle oil radiator below the holes as well. The additional pipe actuator between the top and bottom wing ailerons. The Ospry had the ailerons on top wing only. The rear cockpit ( gunner station ) has the windshield. The fuselage is slimmer in shape. The top wing with noticable dihedral and thinner central part over the fuselage in front of the pilot cockpit. The different shape of the fin and rudder.
