Lockheed Altair?

Spot on Verner as Tzaw confirmed it is a Lockheed Altair in service with a japanese airline company operating the Japan-Manchukuo route pre WW2

Oooops... I had two at choice. And I chose badly.
VL Viima

Yes. But a bit different. Why and when? :)
 
No. Other country, few years later :)

After my post #3686 I made some research and I was also going to answer Arado AR196A but Herman got there first.
The main difference I can see on your pic between the original A/c and the image is that the engine cowling looks very different. The original version had "bugnature" (blisters) on it (as you can see for instance on various italian fighters of the thirties and forties) and yours has none this means that a different engine requiring a different cowling must have been used.
At this stage I would say: a roumanian or bulgarian version (not german, finnish or norwegian in my opinion).

None of these.
For making easy... Such type of the cowl was used in very well-known mono- and bi-plane fighters of the very well-known designer.
 
Nieuport Delage 122 C1
 
Observer, but not French. Very far from France.
