Anyone know what machine this one is?

http://www.barnstormers.com/listing_images.php?id=319904&ZOOM=732d1cea0b3bf375a9bd8a2ee491566d

Listed at Barnstormers as being in Melbourne, Australia.

I'm not so much interested in the parts as I'm interested in working out the P40 on which they're shown mounted.

Cheers,
Matt

Under restoration to fly or to static condition?
