According to B. Ogden, Aircraft Museums 6 Collections of the World vol. 2, 3rd ed, the Hendon Beaufort is "composite of several ex RAAF airfames". It is painted as DD931 but is on the books with maintenance number 9131M.
I seem to remember a spate of articles when the airframe went on display, including an in-depth assessment by several Beaufort crew, but I cannot at present locate the issue.
