Hawker Sea Fury?

Not really.

They do share common antcestry but were as different as you and me from a gorilla.

Sea Fury was a navalized version of (go figure) Hawker Fury II. Not many of these land-based Furies were built, and they ended up serving with nations like Pakistan.

Fury II (to distinguish it from the pre-war biplane Fury) was a smaller lighter development of the Typhoon/Tempest/Tornado lineage and was in fact quite different than Tempest Mk.II.
