DJB,
As a starting point, David Gouldsmith had three ex Burmese Provosts on site when I visited his facility at Cassville, Missouri, in June 1999. These two in Burmese digits and one in Arabic digits - UB212.
One may have gone to New Zealand.
The gentleman who heads up, or used to head up, the Jaguar Cars operation in the US has/had a Provost.

Thanks Peter - I had forgotten about the Burmese examples! Mike Dale is the owner of the U.S based flyer from memory. There was a rebuild project aircraft available on the East coast which lacked paperwork.

Mike Dale, yes, he headed up Jaguar US until about 2000.
I met him at Oshkosh one year.
I think he had trained on Provosts in the RAF.
