Forgive me. You are correct, though it's fair to say I'd considered only the prototypes powered by the Hercules Radials and forgotten the limited series production.
My thought had been to point out that the majority of Lancasters had been Merlin Engined (yet the voiceover spoke of "radial engined bombers"), and that the connection with PT658 had been the marinised Packard Merlins, which in aero-engine form had powered various marks of Lancaster.
In concentrating on that aspect I quite overlooked the Hercules serial production.
Kind and Respectful Regards Looker, Uyraell.
