Looks like it is being used as a decoy, flat tires, no weapons, loose panels. Great details in the picture

I would add Ki.44-II Otsu ( キ44-II 乙) to the description - Ki.44-I is a different type/variant. This particular a/c is # 71, probably the CO's mount. Note the wide white stripe on the bottom of the cowl ring.Nakajima Ki-44 Otsu Shoki of the 47th Sentai REDD

I very much doubt that for a number of reasons. The first is the size of such an installation and it will not fit in the nose of a P-39. Secondly one of the three cameras shoots straight down which means all that it would see is the driveshaft, the retracted nose gear and the closed gear doors. Thirdly the cameras need to be accessible in flight to change magazines.
This is a B-17 installation forward of the tail gear and tail plane and as you can see this takes up a lot of room and the spare magazines are stored forward of the cameras.

I like this Picture, if your squint just a little you can see the Family resemblance to the SB2C that came a few years later
