Sea Fury Identification

This is a bit of a long shot but can any forum members help me identify this 801 sqn Sea Fury off HMS Glory, does anybody know of the whereabouts of an original photo as i am trying to read the 3 rows of writing under the cockpit and the aircrafts serial number if possible.

Thanks

I wonder what the circumstances are regarding that picture. The starboard main leg seems to have folded foreward and rotated but the prop is undamaged. And why does the starboard underwing tank not look right.
Otherwise it looks fine even down to the pilots seat harness being draped over the cockpit edge, as if he has just got out.

I am looking for positive proof that this particular Sea Fury is WG599 and so far struggling a bit.
