The identity remains a great question mark! No markings apart from '229' within the cockpit. As I remember this turned up in Luderitz having helped in the retrieval from the Atlantic of the body of a Portuguese trawlerman; rumour had it that it had been diverted from insurgency action in and around the Caprivi Strip.
