I think it's a SE-5A replica but not really sure

From a very informed source (not me)

It's a ¾(?) scale replica of an SE 5a, with a spurious serial number, in the
markings of No 29 Sqn RFC. The real F235 would have been an Airco DH 9A,
but the order was cancelled.

Yes it is a SE-5A replica, it is a Biggs D C/N PFA 020-10931 built in 1988
and registered as G-BMDB and powered by a Continental 0-200-A

From Wikipedia,
A replica is a copy that is relatively indistinguishable from the original.
Replicas are often used for historical purposes, such as being placed in a
museum.
One definition of "replica" has emerged that defines one as a copy of an
original object, that can only be made by the original company (or
corporate descendent) of the firm that made the original object-any other
sort of copy of an original object would be called a "reproduction"
instead.

Because of its reduced size, this is neither a replica nor reproduction.

However the Civil Aviation Authority have it registered as Type: REPLICA
SE5A, see the link below.

You may be correct but far be it from me to attempt to correct such a
professional organisation.
