Interesting the inboard engines have 4 blade props and the outboards are 3.
Wonder what the reasoning there was?

The inboard four-bladed props were reversible. The two outboard engines had
standard three-bladed props. Better handling on the surface - large freeboard area presented a control problem trying to turn into the wind in any kind of a chop. The reversible props added directional control on the surface of the water.
