RFDS Barons
Seasonally Adjusted
From a very reliable source....
VH-FDP, A model. 260 hp engines, was only a 5 seater
VH-FDD, B model. 260 hp engines, 6 seater
VH-FDG, B model. 260 hp enhines, 6 seater
VH-FDJ, C model. 285 hp engines (air scoop on top of engine), 6 seater
VH-FDT, C model. 285 hp engines (air scoop on top of engine), 6 seater
all models had a half door RHS rear. Came standard, this wasn't a RFDS modification
VH-FDN, 58 model, had full height double doors RHS rear.
VH-ADB, 58 model, same doors
VH-AYV, 58 model, same doors

Toweing Q, there's a bit more to it than that:
95-C55's - compared to a 95-B55 had a longer nose (larger baggage compartment) and greater span tailplanes
The larger aft baggage door (as compared to a Bonanza) was standard I believe for all 55 Barons.
The 58 is not just a 55 with double aft doors, the wing mounts to the fuselage some 15 inches further aft than on a 55.

VH-FDG was a B200 at Westops with steam driven dials and a cargo door.
I believe Karratha Flying Services now operate it under the rego VH-KFE.

VH-ABP still carries the rego, operated by West Wing Aviation.
VH-FDC was re-registered VH-BAM, also operated by West Wing. FDC is now a PC-12.
VH-FDI is currently a 2010 B200C, previously was about a 1980 B200 with a big hole cut into it to make it a Cargo door B200 (not a B200C, was not built as one).
