Swordfish K8387

Some time ago, I purchased a pack of pre-WWII photographs taken in Singapore. Among which were photos of the Atalanta G-ABTJ, a flight of 3 Hawker Horsleys (S1443/M, S1604/P, S1610), a Dutch Glen Martin 139WH M510) and a row of parked Swordfish which one of them has the serial K8387 visible.
I checked online and in the RAFweb, K8387 was among the airframes listed in 824 Squadron.
I am assuming that this photo of the row of Swordfish was taken in Singapore. and if so could they be from HMS Eagle which was docked in Singapore for repairs in 1940?
