Great Picture but the date must be a misprint, as the TBD-1 did not fly for several years after 1931? 1941 maybe?

I have come across a reference for a version of the Devastator with a R-1820, 1,200hp engine that was proposed for a sale to the Dutch Airforce in 1940. Does anyone know if this was just a paper exercise or if there was anything more substantial built.
