Hi David,
I think you are incorrect about a Cambridge being in Korea and now in a Chinese museum. That is actually an Oxford Carrier. I have a particular interest as I am involved in restoring an Oxford to running condition.
I also agree with you and the others about this Cambridge carrier, it does not deserve being converted.
