I tried unsuccessfully to post a message to you on that forum Elliot but we should get it here.
When I saw the pix it rang bells in respect of the tubular support structure. I then checked out photos of a Beaufighter pilot's seat, and a physical on a Freighter. Sure enough it's the same type of support.
The Freighter seat is out, or at least the one I checked as it has a square back. The photo I had of the Beau had the seat folded forward so can't say any more about that.
Perhaps this helps to say its a Bristol of some type or perhaps I'm way off beam.
cheers
