"Turf and Sport Special" is a display aircraft at the Dover AMC Museum. I noted your inquiry on their Facebook page.
Turf's serial number is 42-92841 (292841 on the tail) Q9 (61/314)---(radio call) R.
There are several wartime photos of 841. One of the best--for your Market-Garden purposes--shows the worn and over-painted invasion stripes. That photo is also significant in that there appears to be NO TAIL NUMBER--actually
it has been blotted out by the photo censor. This "error" appears in screen caps of SIM skins--showing no tail number.
There is another photo of 841 in flight showing the right side of the plane--you can clearly see the tail number 292841. What is important about this photo is that the number appears to be BLACK--
actually it is RED (which means the yellow tail number on the plane displayed at Dover is wrong). Red photographs black.
841 carried members of 2/508 of the 82nd into Normandy. It's chalk number then was #19. It's position was lead plane of the second element of Serial 20. Most Serial Leads and Second element leads were equipped with SCR-717C radar characterized by the turret-like pod under the fuselage just aft of the trailing edge of the wing. None of the wartime photos available show 841 with the radar pod--However--the red tail number is unique to radar equipped planes--and 841 falls within one group of sequential tail number known to be radar equipped--42-92837 thru 42-92847. Planes within this group either served with the Pathfinders, or were Group/Squadron lead planes with PF radar and crews trained at the PF School.
Radar pods and the enclosed radar array could be removed if necessary. I merely point this all out as the clues are there. It might also suggest that when carrying the Poles into Holland she might have had her radar pod reinstalled--and
may have been a lead plane on that lift.
The two best authorities on C-47 operations in Europe are my friends and colleagues Hans den Brok

Good Luck with your project.
BTW--My mother's grandmother was Ursula Nowicki from Wilno/Vilnius, Lithuania. Her married name was Americanized as Wistaris when she immigrated to the US (Worcester, Massachusetts) in 1906 and is often written as Veisztacas or Viestaros...do you have relatives in Lithuania?
