The caption above the picture reads "far as I know only 10 A-25 were delivered to RAAF, they were coded A69-1 to A69-10. " but the aircraft in the pic is clearly marked A69-29. ?????

A land-based variant of the US Navy's famed SB2C-1 Helldiver, 150 Shrike aircraft were ordered to fill the dive-bomber role for the RAAF. In the event, only 10 (A60-1 to 10) were delivered in November 1943 after the perceived need for them had passed. They were all transferred to the USA Far East Air Service Command by January 1945, having never flown operationally in the RAAF

A69-29 never made it to Australia
