That's not your average Battle. Contra rotating props?

And in USA markings?

From Wikipedia: "Battle K9370 was used to test the Fairey Monarch 2,000+ hp
(1,490+ kW) aero-engine with electrically-controlled three-blade contra-
rotating propellers in 1939. According to Jane's All the World's Aircraft
1946-47, the aircraft was shipped to the U.S.A. after 86 hours test time."

There also seem to be a strange set of unexplained exhaust headers
protruding low on the forward fuselage.
What were those hooked up to?
