The "C" is for NAS Columbus VA-691/ VA-692. Yellow spinners.

The AM-1's purchased under the original contract (BuNo's 22257-22355), used the Curtiss electric propeller that had cuffed blades and rounded tips.
The aircraft purchased under the subsequent contract (BuNo's 122388-122437) used the Hamilton Standard prop with squared off tips.

Regards,
Mike
