Argentina from 1945 to 1960 in aeronautics was the closest thing to the frankestein´s hangar section .

The flying wing "FMA  IAe38 Naranjero" was designed by the german Reimar Horten.

Naranjero in Spanish is who carrying oranges ... That was his theoretical use.
Carrying in its rear cargo bay 6 tons of oranges ... is not joke!
In the photo of the front you can see the orange bushes far on the horizon

You turn sniperton!

Thanks, so let us remain with pusher prop aircrafts.

It looks like a seaplane ...
But i think it is not, because the propellers collide the water! neither seen the out floats to stabilize in water.
Super clean and refined design ...  by sober seems English, by curves seems Italian...   
Tail markings look similar in black and white photo.

Piaggio P.23M Transport Prototype

Excellent! But I still don't know why the fuselage has a flying boat shape. Anyway, it has a beautiful gull-shape wing and an odd-enough engine configuration. I think it's a remarkable plane in several respects, even if it was not a successful design.

Your turn, Dreamk

from the link I brought on the P.23M : "The underside of the aerodynamically clean fuselage had a keel, much like a flying boat, and was watertight. While the aircraft could not operate from the water, the keel fuselage design was incorporated to facilitate emergency water landings. "....

And now.....

Finnish ?

Seems to be real Franken. Prop and engine belongs to a 109, undercarriage to a 190, and tail to a Stuka.

The engine DB 605 and propeller are from bf 109, so should play for the blue team

Tricky, could be an early Mustang too.
