Yes, the Vought-Sikorsky XSO2U (never given a name) was intended to follow on the OS2U Kingfisher (note the reversed SO / OS). Only a single airframe was built, and it was tested in both the float and fixed gear configurations. I am pretty sure the picture you posted is the fixed gear version. The SO3C was a VERY similar airframe, but the fixed gear was configured differently.

They had a Victory days open house at NAS Santa Ana (later MCAS LTA Tustin) with an impressive display of aircraft Allies and Axis, when the photo Token posted, was taken. One of the unique aspects of this particular open house, unlike the ones at Dayton, etc. is that many of the aircraft were on display inside the massive blimp hangers.

I'll have to find the photos I have and post them.
