i dont have the same infos(ive done serious researches on the toryu for more than a year on my free time)
about the kaiA(KO) that you describe,a lot of conversions were made to put a manually loaded 37mm anti tank cannon in the ventral position(this was the type isamu kashiide flought in)
about the one you call "kaibu",its the kaiB or kai OTSU(in japanese,A is KO,B is OTSU,C is HEI,D is TEI)it received in the nose a ho 203 and the cannon went out of the nose(if you dont beleive me,see the ancient topic of corsairs frankenplane ,every thing has been told)
about the kai C,nobuji negishi and hannonshin nishio had 2 ho5 and a ho 203 on their kai hei model.
about the kai tei,the only toryu which still survive is a TEI (eszterhazy museum,pics are easy to find)you can easily see the 2 ho5 in dorsal,the ho 203 in the nose and the ventral tunnel with the ho 3
plus,the kai tei is described in the maru mechanism of military aircraft n6(a serious technical japanese book)
ho 203,ho3,2 ho5.
