yes. the early version with 2 50cal upward firing is called the KO_TEI version (one ho3 in the belly,2 ho 103 in the nose and 2ho 103 upward).i think this was only a field conversion like,in new guinea, some KOs had a 37mm anti tank manually loaded
cannon.later the cannon went in production with the OTSU version.
the ho3 cannon didnt equipped other fighters because it was heavy and had a low rate of fire.it was hard to shoot a one engine fighter but good for large flying target or ground,naval purpose.
