That is an interesting comparison.
The IJN and IJA both had the insignia on both wings (upper and lower) so why is the Hinomaru edited out of the photo that snautzer posted?

Odd that, the missing hinomaru... it is definitely a B5N2 Kate
Maybe someone felt that since it was essentially a picture of someone dying they felt it deserved some anonymity. Note also the close cropping of the port one. Just a thought.

It actually looks like the photo was cropped in to give it better detail. Snautzer's photo shows the gunner in better detail, but there's a few things that look weird: the Hinomaru on the starboard wing is missing (as we know) and the number(?) on the cowling looks to be altered. Perhaps that's a trick of the pixels, but to me, it looks like it's been changed from a "4" in Wurger's photo to a "6" in Snautzer's photo.
