There is an interesting anomaly about 43154/44 in Wiki. Herewith a brief synopsis of the information available to me :

Chassis Number : 43154
Engine Number : 44
Delivery Date : 01/01/1928
Delivered to : Leon Herman & de Viscaya
Current Registration number : OB 1927
Previous Registration Numbers : UJ9511 ; 4150 RE 8 ; 2708 RB 6 & 922 E 30
Current Owner : T.E. Fonternel; South Africa - The last time this information was confirmed was in 1978.
From du Gan, some verification in Magnum & G.P

No further known specifications.

According to Du Gan the following list of owners post Herman/de Viscaya : Rochdale, A.K.Haworth, then imported into Rhodesia (Now Zimbabwe) by J.E.Glen and then H.B.Kelfkins. Due to crankshaft problems this car then lay dormant for 5 years before being purchased by T.E.Fonternel. There is a possibility that someone called Derain owned the car after Kelkins but before Fonternel. It was Fonternel who had the car rebuilt to original specification.

From du Gan : "Eaglesfield/Hampton Book refers to it as a ex-Campbell TT car and there is confusion regarding the rebuild of the car that burned. Was it really rebuilt or was another car renumbered to that of the burned car?"

There are 2 known photographs of this car in its rebuilt state : 1 full page colour spread in Conway & Greilshamer 1st Edition, 1979, p143 and in du Gan on p57 a black & white photograph.

Herewith the information currently in Wiki :
