Mk 21 were Australian build and serialed in the A8-XXX range
All other (British-build) Beaus (Mk I VI X and XI) were serialed in the A19-XXX range
The Australians built 364 Mk 21s and used a large no of Brit built aircraft
I believe the TFC example is a bitsa - centre section is a Mk XI JM135/A19-144 -British built, rear fuselage is Australian prodduction Mk21,nose is unused Australian production
