Since I'm typing, here's a few pics of a Stinson model JR S. that
popped into my airport awhile ago

It was restored and is owned by a friend of a friend and it's
locally based (in the Seattle area)

I'm guessing there may have been some variation & theme (i.e., minor
differences) over the "manufacturing life" of the Detroiter series.

gear and struts do look like a Curtis Robin
But the Robin I flew, the tires were tall, almost waist tall, and the
cockpit was huge.
Maybe the picture is out of perspective.. but this looks just to small to be
a Robin.
I have a picture of it here at home
