Did you actually find this picture to confirm or are you going by the little note on the picture itself?
I can't picture this as a Devastator.... the engine cowling wasn't that streamlined and sleek. I'm puzzled!

Oops... spoke too soon...
Still, this doesn't look like the rear mount guns that I could find on all the pix that I looked at. Didn't the TBD-1 carry twin 30's in back?

Maybe it started out with one and upgraded to two?

TBD Devastator always had only one .30 rear gun. SBD Dauntless had twin .30.
