Based on the stain on the firewall, the fuselage in the video appears to be a D3A2, msn 3105, that was previously displayed at the National Museum of the Pacific War in Texas and originally recovered from Gasmata Airfield in Papua New Guinea in 1973. The description states that they have at least two more airframes, but they're not shown in the video.
I believe the NMPW/Nimitz Museum had 2 Val wrecks. This is the one they have display. Its behind a translucent movie screen and is only visible when there is not a film playing. I would have missed it had I not known it was there-
