B-24D 41-11596 - interned in Turkey - replaced by other?

B-24 41-11596 Brooklyn Rambler was one of the Liberators interned in Turkey after a raid to Ploesti. The US aircrew was able to get the ship out of Turkey again at a later date. It ended up at the Gura Air Depot (Eritrea) for repairs, due to be returned to Turkey under a lend-lease contract.

According this recent story on http://rdrnews.com/wordpress/blog/2016/07/03/143712/ by then Capt. Morgan Nelson the original 41-11596 was secretly replaced by another B-24 which got the fake serial 596 instead.

Any idea what B-24 became the "new" 41-11596?

Thanks for all info.

Regards,

Leendert
