A few words on the history of these versions:

When the piston variants of the CV340 became obsolete due to the advent of more modern turbine-driven airliners, there still was much life left in them and it would have been a waste to have them scrapped. So various airframe companies set out to re-engine the existing airframes with various turboprop engines instead of the old radials. Multiple different engine types were installed ranging from the Rolls-Royce Dart and some more experimental ones like the Napier Eland to the Allison 501 engine shown here. The result was a solid, low-effort turboprop airliner that was more economic to operate than the piston variants and proved itself very well in service. Although the type was rather operated by smaller operators than the flag carriers that had used the piston variants, these versions were operated for many more years, the last passenger-carrying CV580 was only retired in 2021.
