133260 isn't a valid T-33 serial (21260 would have become 133260 had it not been written off many years earlier)

1377 was a Hawker Hurricane, I can't find any reference to it being painted on an Expeditor

KB889 Avro 683 Lancaster B.X c/n unknown now preserved at Duxford

Sorry, that's really not helpful I guess?! :(
