What puzzled me is not the engine but the cockpit.It looks higher than usual–especially the back seat. Some modification version?
I think the most likely explanation is that in this photograph the rear fuselage decking is very light in tone and has thus been “lost” against the almost equally lightly toned sky background , thus giving what appears to be that odd raised shape.

It looks like the Ro-go Ko-gata Hi with the Hispano Suiza E engine to me, as in the Putnam Japanese Aircraft 1910 -1941 book. Were you perhaps comparing it with the earlier, Salmson M9 Radial engined, version?
