A-20C's from US stock were operated initially with their US serial but in around mid 44 they were assigned serials in the HK batch , approx. 56 A-20C's were given HK serials, these were taken from A-20C's to be supplied to Russia , I have looked thru my serials and it appears 42-33313 is outside the serial window of the xferd machines in the HK serial batch, approx. 11-12 A-20C's were also xfered from US stock in the Med these more than likely didn't get RAF serials.
Also all the HK serial block A-20C's and the extra dozen from US stock only operated in the Med/Italy.
