British engine serials - A.M. Forms?

Hi Folks,

Most A.M. Forms (eg. 78, 1180) list engine numbers for certain AC types, like Wellington, Halifax, etc. But these numbers are not the official engine serial numbers, which can be found at crash sites, like: SS-28031 for Wellington X., LP732.

Is there any database, or record which maps these Air Ministry numbers to the actual engine serial numbers for proper wreck identification? See 2 examples.

What was eg. the 'real', or factory dataplate engine serial number of Wellington X., LP303 for A.M. engine # '426401'? SS-?????
Thanks,

Gabor
