I think your right Takao, I was looking at on my Mobile and didn't see the cockpit canopy properly.

While it is true that a the PT-19 was produced with a radial engine and enclosed canopy(designated PT-23A), the canopy of the aircraft in Sturm78's photo is all wrong for the PT-23A. Also, the PT-23A did not have the large mast mounted ahead of the cockpit.
