SE-CFP seems to have spent much of its life registered in Scandinavia as well as the Air Force, Newforest.
There's not a lot of web information on the Wrigley family aircraft, other than she was sold in 1985 with 3200 hrs after over 30 years with them and again up for sale in 2004. I've pasted this from Propliners ( http://www.propliners.com/ ):

Just saw over at ****** (I removed the commercial link) that as of this past June (2004) P.K. Wrigley's beautiful DC-3 went on the sale block. I was aboard this aircraft back in the '70's where it was hangared on Catalina Island. Only about 34 hundred hours on it since modified from a C-47 to a DC-3. Probably the best kept DC-3 in the world. Oh, for those of you too young to know, Mr. Wrigley was the man who made chewing gum popular.

There was no valid link to the aircraft unfortunately so we're still no wiser as to the registration.
