Default No.27 Crab
Just found this new (to me) photo of Crab No.27 on the beach:

Still no WD number or name visible, but the Alied Star on the engine deck is clear. Note the peculiar style of the digit '7', quite different from that on the right side of the turret. This might just be the result of uneven wear and tear though:
