It is a Douglas DC 5 which was a development of the DC 3 - same engines but more advanced design. For some reason they never sold a lot of them, probably because there were so many DC 3 available cheap after the war. Some operated in Australia in the late 40's.

Looking for the aircraft with the outer tail fins seen on one of the drops from inside.

I suspect the aircraft with the outer tail fin is a very early Dc4. They went to a single fin for production.
