This is her service history in the RAAF Archive; only mentions No.20/No.18 though. Serials are alphabetical.

This is a NSW site with original documents, C4623 shown on p.20 as "NSW no.7" only and on p.21 as "Australia no.20/NSW no.18"; problem HERE is 2 different WD engine numbers given !

"Cross and Cockade" (1983) has a very good list by Ray Vann and Colin Waugh of Presentation Aircraft, Australia and others; C4623 listed with BOTH names. "ADF Serials Australia" doesn't have a name. 2 thing to note, in "Allotments" the entry for 5.4.18 says "name has been painted on" in Egypt ie. "NSW no.7"; and on 15.8.18 says "SUSPECT" before second name "Australia no.20 / NSW no.18".
Obviously C4623 can't have 2 different engines unless replaced. Possibly No.7 is right as gifted 19.3.18 by Mrs. Kirby---and name was marked on then--and no.20 / no.18 a different Bristol. Probably never know for sure.
