Default Carrier Photos - 1949

A couple of carrier photos taken on a Perth river foreshore, Western Australia 1949.

Can someone clarify the carriers number... S160 or 5160 or 8160 or something else?

The last number is definitely a 0. Can be seen in original photo.

I wasn't sure on the first digit/number as the stencilling was hard to read

Great photos . How lucky are those kids looks like their having a ball . Good crowd in the back ground . Note how flat the paint is and the marks all over it scuff marks , grease and wear are there two more heads sticking out near the engine cover ? some blitz's in the back ground . Dale
