Any relevant pictures, planned applications and additional specifications regarding to this Interwar engine?

According to the AEHS (http://www.enginehistory.org/Piston/Wright/C&WSpecs.shtml), the V-1456 was an inline-vee, 12 cylinder engine that was made as an experiment by the company that paved way to the V-1560, which accordingly to the source, was built in very small numbers.

The AEHS Members' Section has three V-1456 photos.
 
Expanding the scope of the thread into other experimental and unbuilt Wright-manufactured engines, the V-1560 is a development of the V-1456, with performance about the same as the Curtiss V-1570 family. I'm finding surviving technical data about the engine as well as the aircraft that would use this.

p.s. no relevant information for the V-1456 other than the ref above exists at the entirety of web.

Addendum: A Wikipedia template page shows a page-less link to a certain 'V-1460' that could describe the V-1456.
 
Wright V-1560 key takeaways
> According to Aircraft Database (1), the engine has a name of Tornado and has a maximum hp rate at about 637 hp. at plane takeoff.
> engine weighs 435 kg. and is slightly heavier than the V-1570 (SGV-1570 weighs more according to AEHS)
> XP-19 monoplane fighter (picture?) did not left past design stage.
 
Were these both inverted V-12s?
They were.
AEHS asserted that the framework of the 1560 were based on the preluding 1456, which is a company experiment.

p.s. I am currently finding for surviving data for the XP-19 fighter (might be discussed in an another thread) and the engine itself.
