With a design lineage that stretched back to 1920, the Supermarine Walrus was initially designated Seagull Mk.V for the Royal Australian Navy. Eventually Walruses saw service in nine navies and air forces. The refined design proved to be effective and flexible. The little flying boat was used for scouting and anti-submarine duties. But it is best remembered for its maritime rescue role, saving over a thousand downed aircrew. Though a replacement was developed with the Supermarine Sea Otter, Walruses continued to operate throughout the war and after. Their roles were gradually taken over by radar and helicopters.

I don't know. I guess it wasn't discussed. What would it get? 4 or 5? It carried more weight than the AR 196. But wasn't a "dive bomber " like the Jake.

Is the nomenclature right? Not Supermarine Walrus GR Mk IX?
All I can find is a Mk I and a Mk II. The only difference is the Mk I had a metal hull and the Mk II had a wood hull to save on the use of light alloy. RB didn't always designate a specific variant. I don't think it is really necessary for this one. If we do, the Mk II wasn't introduced until 1940.
