KRviator:
The aircraft involved in the QF72 incident is VH-QPA, MSN 0553, according to the preliminary accident report.

Also from the ATSB report, the ADIRU's fitted to the aircraft at the time were as follows:
Model name: LTN-101 Global Navigation Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (GNADIRU).
Part Number: 465020-0303-0316.
ADIRU 1 Serial Number 4167
ADIRU 2 Serial Number 4687
ADIRU 3 Serial Number 4663.
Thanks KRviator. Then it does not seem to have changed since then, Part Number still being identical today (April 09), alternate P/N is -0315. Vendor is Northrop Grumman for both.

Unfortunately, the Maintenance Manuals (AMM, IPC, etc.) for A330 MSN550 went offline in the meantime, but for the other recent A330 of AF, MSN 501-510 are fitted with ADIRU by Vendor Honeywell (two different P/N possible). So I expect this to be the case for MSN550 / AF447 as well.

Hence - no obvious interconnection between QF72 and AF447 because of different manufacturers.
