Nope, 'tis the one-off Boeing Model 226 executive transport for Standard Oil of California.
It was the second to the last of the first batch of 12 80As, but was highly modified for its
new role under Memo 2-310, delivered on Dec. 20, 1930.
“Conspiracy theory’s got to be simple.
Sense doesn’t come into it. People are
more scared of how complicated shit
actually is than they ever are about
whatever’s supposed to be behind the
conspiracy.”

I'm still waiting for Brian to comment on the spats on the first Couzinet.  Maybe I need to tempt him with the fact thane can get a kit of it:
