Also, the photo of the seaplanes burning, I think I know the same place from another perspective and I believe it was taken on Sasebo, November 2,1945.

-these are the aircraft I recognize

Yes, location looks same Sasebo Air Corps of flying boats and float planes.
This caption says -

"The flames of a million dollar victory consume the Japanese aircraft. 33 Japanese planes were set on fire by a tank's fire thrower of US 5th Amphibious Corps. 28 of them were still in flightable condition with no malfunctions. The rest 5 were not flightable. Two flying boats were also included in them (dated November 2)."
