I cannot help with FMK_K or FMK-P but FMK-L was worn by VW474 when it was lost on 14th February 1951.

FMK-Q (WA591) in the foreground was one of 6 T7s delivered to No.203 AFS at RAF Keevil. The other serials in the batch were WA604, WA614, WA625, WA632 and WA639. Your answer is in there somewhere but I don't know which is which.

I know its a dangerous thing but I assume the photo was taken at 203 AFS , Driffield ? Thanks to Keith Wilson-Clark of Air Britain and previously Valliant and Victor tankers at Marham I/he can add the following ;
FMK-Q was WA591 from 24.11.50 recoded XD during 1951 but not sure of the month

FMK-K was WA632 from 1949 until May 51

FMK-P was VW479 until 15.02.51 and doesn't seem to have been replaced

FMK-L was VW474 until 14.01.51 , then replaced by WA727.

Wilson-Clark appears to have flushed out the info.
