DB-7/A-20's Diverted to Allied forces in the ME.

Hello,

I have recently come across details of DB-7/A-20's that were sent to Iran that were destined for the USSR. It seems that 40 or so of these aircraft were diverted ( around July 1942 ) and forwarded to the Allied forces in the Middle East instead of continuing to the USSR.
Which a/c serial numbers were these and their fate did they go to RAF, USAAC or SAAF Squadrons ?

Thank you,
Alex
