The 3 MTs were a 47mm cannon MT, 57mm cannon MT, and a 75mm cannon MT. The 47mm cannon MT ended up becoming the Chi-To. The 75mm cannon MT became the Chi-Ri. So that leaves the 57mm cannon MT in the middle. It merged early on with the Chi-To development project.

Appreciate you digging it up for the rest of us to look at, SS.

Chi-Ro (Medium Second): Type 89 I-Go Otsu 八九式乙
And japan didn’t use Chi-Chi so Chi-Ri=Medium Seventh

Experimental Type 1 Tank through improved will be Type 95 Heavy Tank
Experimental Type 2 Tank = Type 91 Heavy Tank

while Otsu means “the second”,so in tank trees, “xxxx Otsu” just means “the second edition of xxxx”, usually you can expect somekind of improvement from the original ones，but not guaranteed
