Lancaster Engine Numbers

Is there something I have missed?

I just need somebody to tell me that there is (or isn't!) a reference source that ties specific RR Merlin engine numbers to specific airframes - even at just the build/delivery stage.

In the two cases I am looking at the AM78 records no engine numbers. However, a published source quotes a specific recovered engine number as being matched to a specific airframe.

I want to be sure that this is fanciful thinking before it is dismissed as such and discounted.

Is there a reference source that matches Lancaster engine numbers (at build or delivery to RAF) to airframe numbers that I don't know about?? That is, aside from the AM78 forms which are not helpful, anyway?

Clarification of this point will greatly assist a family in researching the loss of close kin.
