Mel,

It looks like it's 51-4754.

See page 80 of Cessna Warbirds: A Detailed & Personal History of Cessna's Involvement in the Armed Forces by Walt Shiel, Gregory W. Bayer, Frank Hamilton, Kim Shields.

Google ("l-19" raf korea). The whole book is online.

By October 1954, Cessna deliveries of L-19s totaled 2,504 aircraft. Five aircraft were destined for service in the South Korean air force under the Military Assistance program and one (L-19-ACE, s/n 51-4754) was obtained by the British Army from the Canadian Army.
Adjacent to the text is a US Army Aviation Museum photo of 51-4754 with roundels, captioned
