They were pre-war fabric covered, post-war they were aluminum skinned (from what I heard). You had a rare ride. In the body you can see where the fabric was stretched over the frame ribs.

Looks like you're right. The tail, "stretch marks," and the humpback/ cargo door are right on with the photo in the link you posted.

Another fun fact: Rusty Meyer's Flying Service, operating on Rainy Lake in Fort Frances, ON has the oldest DeHavilland Beaver still in operation anywhere in the world. Their Beaver has the serial number three.
