Is that a U.S. registration number on an RAAF aircraft?

Yes, but it looks temporary. Looks like the AC
is being delivered to the RAAF, will get a new
number upon arrival.

At the time of the photo, the aircraft had not been turned over to the
RAAF from Boeing yet; I believe this was a "we know we're late, but we
are really working on it" tour. That, and Australia is doing a lot of
the avionics work on these aircraft.

The RAAF serial is A30-01.
