Info sought on recovered Russian Hurricane

I've got a bunch of shots of a mystery Hurricane at Jerry Yagen's Fighter Factory, and I'm hoping someone here has more info on it. Here's what I know about it...

- It was recovered with the unfortunate pilot, Boris Lazarev, hunched over and mummified in the cockpit
- It has a Merlin XX, could not read the S/N on the dataplate
- No idea on the armament, the wings were not where I could see them

I'd expect the pilot ID should help narrow down the identity of the aircraft, but I haven't found squat online about it... the possibility exists that I'm not looking in the right place, too! I'm scanning these pix in to put on DetailSITE, so if anyone can fill in the blanks on this one, I'd be most appreciative!
