Nice shots!
Actually (US)XB-1A demonstrated improved performance in comparison with the Bristol version equipped with a 300 hp Hispano-Suiza engine. It was a good attempt to build an "army cooperation" aircraft, albeit few available and late in the field. During the 1920-es U.S. Army Air Service favoured Liberty-powered DH-4M versions for the peacetime tasks at hand.

It may have done better with the Hiiapano 300hp but they went on to the 12 cylinder liberty and added weight and then the engineering divsion got involved and added more weight, and ended up building the worst version. That doest sound like a good attempt since the original idea was to emulate the Bristol. As far as favoring the DH-4 versions I think it was "shit we got a boat load of these, lets work with that".
Curtiss with 300 Hisso 122 mph.
Bristol Bris-Fit 123 mph

If the ground contains unexploded munitions, how do they dig/harvest potatoes? - Yes, I know very carefully. Sounds like a French effort for more money.
A second aside, there is a small community "Ruddock" just off I-55 in south Louisiana.

The Sage cockpit was designed in France.
The rudder even look like Nieuport.
