Does anyone have any idea what the CCF manufact no. or the RCAF serial number of this aircraft?

This aircraft may have been the Hurricane the Les Fairn recovered in the mid 1980s. He later sold it to Jack Arnold of in Bradford. The serial number to Les's wreck was 5715.

The aircraft recovered states that it was stationed at Bagotville, Quebec and crashed in Lake St. Johns, Quebec on March 27, 1944. If it was working out of the station it is either a No. 1 OTU or No. 130 (F) Squadron aircraft.

Any one have any further clues???
