Grumman Avenger IIc JZ554 (45847) of No. 849 Squadron

Does anyone happen to know the fuselage code(s) carried by Grumman Avenger IIc JZ554 of No. 849 Squadron (Fleet Air Arm) which suffered an engine fire while crossing the Sumatran coast on 4 January 1945? Lieutenant Commander Donald Judd DSC jettisoned the bomb load and ditched six miles offshore, from where the crew was luckily picked up by a British destroyer. I would like to get a profile of this aircraft done but need the fuselage code for an accurate recreation.

The manufacturer registration of the aircraft was 45847.

Any help welcome.
