Hi,
Regarding the fact that the So-ki used Type 98 (1938) 20mm guns and not Type 2 guns, check the Wikipedia page hat clearlt states that it used Type 2 cannons.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_98_20_mm_AAG_Tank
However the Wikipedia pages doesn't refers it not as "So-ki". Moreover, there seems to be a paradox in the Wikipedia page: it refers as the title "Type 98" and then "Type 2 mounted" in the content.
Then if you check a link it states, it show a modified Ta-Se with twi Type 20 mm guns which looks A LOT like the So-Ki! (need confirmation).

Is a modified "Ta-Se" or the actual So-ki?
I will keep doing historical research regarding the So-Ki, as I find this very interesting.
Regards,
