It has got Chinese markings, I say it's the Eg-grol-l 254, it’s a variant with the "Chinese takeout" modification (note the extra carrying capacity that has been created by putting heated food boxes over the wheels).

This specific plane (named: Peking duck by it's pilot) is rumoured to have taken out an ENTIRE Japanese brigade on it’s own during the second part of ww2. Ledged goes, that the food ordered by the IJA 33 SAMBALL brigade was so ROTTEN when it arrived by “Peking duck” that the entire brigade spend over a week in the 4 available latrines. Until this day NOTHING grows on the spot where the 33 brigade was bivouacked, and the locals still refer to this place as (loosely translated) “ big sh*thole where nothing grows caused by Peking duck”…..
