Squadronleader J.G.Topham (DFC)

Hello!
Is it possible to find out the type and markings on the Beaufighter, flown by Topham and F/O H.W. Berridge, who shot down a He 111 from KG 100 on the night between May 7. ang 8. 1942?
I would like to build a model of this plane, if possible.
Thanks in advance
Christian
