Sure, it looks very similar - just trying to be pragmatic :) The lily on pacific ghosts looks bigger that's all - perhaps it's missing it's seat...
The gunners position looks a lot more like the lily's - as you probaly know the problem is they made so many mods to these aircraft from the gunners & pilots point of view that it's sometimes hard to find suitable pics to compare them with.
I have a polaroid at home of what is supposedly a ki-48 cockpit section but i'm still not conviced that's what it is...
