"Commando" was Winston Churchill's personal airplane.


Didn't the Brits make any distinction between the Liberator and the
Privateer? This is clearly a Privateer.


As built, Commando had dual vertical stabilizers. It went back to the
factory sometime in September '43 and re-emerged in November with the
single vertical stabilizer.
