You had me at Convair. 
Over to you dash7fan.
As I understand, it's a Convair VC-131D configured to look like a TAA Convair 340.
VH-TAA Convair 340-67
The guide that showed us through the aircraft related a story how it was previously owned by a South African railway magnate that decked out the interior to look like a railway carriage - including the toilet.

Not to waste the supplementary image whilst we await the clock...

I recall thinking as a child how 'modern' they looked on the Surrey & Kent apron at Biggin Hill in the early 70's, and being thrilled at the air vents since Dad was a confirmed Ford man!
All will be confirmed once 24 hours has elapsed.
