The R5O-3 is indeed rare and I was lucky enough to see one once. I will post the photo of 01007 taken at NAS Alameda in March 1946. It is also unusual in that it has the command plaque of one star for the Commodore rank (equal to Brigadier General).

Only three R5O-3's were procured and were powered by P&W R-1830 engines.
