I don't know what plane it is, but I'd be willing to bet that's not the original instrument panel. Lots of hand written/painted lables (Idle/Cutoff); on the left (at 9:00) is what looks like an added gauge, and along the top center are empty rivet/screw holes and a pair of "ghosts" in the paint.

[Edit: Cockpit canopy looks a little like a Judy....]

I may be way offbase here but what about that prewar design by the US, something like Aircuda that had gun emplacements in the engine nacelles? From Subs pic it looks to have an exit door just in front of the control stick at the pilot's feet. (Just a VWAG from me)

90% certain it is not a Dinah. The Recce version or the KAI. Glass panes do not match up for either.

It is not the Recce version of course...but look at the instrument panel, yoke and rudder pedals...it is a complete clone.

Now look at the windscreen panels on the Ki-46 II (Dinah)

Look at the missing paint and screw holes on the top of the dash in Brady's pic...now look at the round instrument mounted on the top of the dash in the pic above showing the dash of the recon version. The only thing missing is the mechainc's DNA from his scraped knuckles
