WWII docos where they get it wrong

Tony had the episode on DVD and showed it to me, you're right they are Wirraways.

The only problem is that the aircraft has the British/Commonwealth Air Force roundel without the red centre and the aircraft in my inexperienced eye looks like a CAC Wirraway. IIRC the redless roundel was only used in the Pacific War against the Japanese.

Does anyone know the episode and the scene? Am I correct?
