I have a book some were with that picture and the caption describes it a gun pattern testing, so I would say yes.

Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft were also captured by the Chinese, but in fewer numbers than their Army counterparts. Here are an A6M5 Reisen "Zero" with a Yokosuka P1Y Ginga "Francis" INHG

Never knew that but with me, the bar is kinda' low.
I'd like to see the Cunningham "CGI'd" with the Safety Plane. They seem of kindred spirit.
