I think it's an excellent ship design, but I think it needs some alterations to be an Asjaka.
The Asjaka is described as being a "three-seater bomber", with this internal layout: "The view was over the shoulder of the bomber's pilot and thens hifted to focus in on the screen of the weapons officer." - That, to me, indicates that the seats are sort of like a B-17... with a bombadier at the front and a pilot in the middle (though closer together than a B-17).
The third seat would probably be a rear (or top) gunner. The novel also mentions that the cruiser it's attacking is viewer "Through the forward port of the bomber...", which to me implies that there's a facing forward cockpit separate from whatever the gunner is looking out.
