There is some confusion about the identity of this airplane.
The book "The Douglas DC-1/DC-2/DC-3: The first seventy years - Vol.2" reported the accident airplane to be C-47A-25-DK serial (and msn) 13487.
The website "Archives de l'armée de l'air" states the airplane involved was "13.497 42.93571 F-SCID", which was also reported to have become PK-REP for KLM in Netherlands Indies and later T-462 for the Indonesian Air Force.
