Apologies Richard, I forgot to include the link to these pics, which gives the location as Lae, not Borneo as in Keith's pics. Nice work on your part to make the connection - it's definitely the same a/c as can be seen in the camouflage detail on the fin (pics 1 and 2 below).
Here's the link to the Lae pics:

It took me a while to identify the a/c type but eventually I found pic 3 on wikipedia:
