Hello to Canada re Bristol Fighter F.2b's

Hello,
While searching for info on a Bristol Fighter F.2b I found to my surprise that Canada had acquired only two ?

When I checked the serial numbers in the Air Britain "J" file I found the following Bristol Fighter F.2b serial numbers -
F4334 became C-CYBC, as did F4336.
also that D7869 became C-CYDP.
So three Bristol Fighter F.2b aircraft not two?

However I find on the "Canadian Serials" online that F3518 became C-CYDP ? So I checked the serial number F3518.

The serial number belonged to an FE.2b a quite different aircraft with a pusher engine.

So if the info re F3518 is correct then it was an FE.2b and not a Bristol Fighter F.2b.

So which are the correct aircraft and serial numbers for the Canadian Bristol Fighter F.2b's ?

Thanks
Alex
