Regarding mgahans post #9520, the signed document states "The Southern Cloud was a sister ship to the Southern Cross and they are identical."
The Southern Cloud, built in 1930, was an Avro 618 "Ten" a licensed-built Fokker tri-motor. Avro modified the centre motor mounting to accommodate British airworthiness requirements. The Avro "Ten" was powered by more powerful 240-hp Armstrong Siddeley Lynx motors.
The Southern Cross, built in 1926, was a Fokker F.VIIb/3m, which began life as the "Detroiter", a Polar exploration aircraft of the Detroit News - Wilkins Arctic Expedition. The Fokker was powered by 3 Wright J-5 Whirlwinds, producing 220-hp each. Fokker also sourced some cockpit instruments from manufacturers different than those on the Avro.

I saw the differences also. You can see the difference in:
the Armstrongs where 7 piston radials
The Wright’s were 9 cilinder engines.
I also think the cockpit window frames are wider and flatter on the Avros then on the Fokkers

We're getting warmer. Many of the aircraft are painted white because of their previous roles although there has been little need for such activity here for a few generations.
