I have a model of this.  The rear elevon was moved to the left because in first trials the rear gunner managed to over ride the stops and shot the tail plane off.  I have used this aircraft in design reviews to emphasize that a successful design that meets design requirements does not have to be pretty !  By the way, it was not approved for production.  It didn't look pretty.  The cockpit nacelle was a direct steal from a Messerschmidt twin engine bomber,  it gave maximum visibility of opposing enemy fighters.
