I'm pretty sure that's a Hawker Sea Fury.

It appears there were a few models with more than one seat for AEW or ECM duties.

Actually that's the A-1E (originally AD-5), and it has four seats, not two. Out of a total of 3180 Skyraiders, 212 were AD-5s and a further 239 were AD-5N night attack variants.
