The image shows this PB2Y with three and four bladed props. According to the USNI: "Aircraft trials again revealed shortcomings, requiring further modifications. Heavy bow spray was thrown through the inboard propellers during heavy-load takeoffs, causing propeller damage. Four-blade steel propellers could solve the problem, but shortages led to aircraft flying for some time with four-blade inboard and three-blade outboard propellers."
