the T4F again not 100% certain relates to the Squadron and aircraft (this is FAA code )
think the I is actually an F with part of the F hidden by poor pic, when I am 100% I will post again.

Since the aircraft obviously came down on Sicily during some offensive attack, I would say it shows an aircraft from 830 Sq, which continued to use 767 Sq codes after it was formed from said unit on 1 July 1940.
I don't think it is L2817 since that aircraft was re-coded T4R (according to Air Britains FAA 1939-45 book), but how certain that statement is I don't know. Said book has no fate for L2817, so....

Cheers
