The link suggests that RPT-9 (PT-93), RPT-11 (PT-197) and RPT-12 (PT-198) didn't become MTBs, so that there would be no double MTB-424. The bemol being that the fate of PT-197 is unkown

I have a photo of M.T.B. 422 ex P.T 92 in full guise complete with 40mm fitted aft, I would  think that they would have all been sent over complete and the R.N. would convert them when required with British target towing equipment for uniformity reason's but of course that is my own  view as I have not read or seen anything different although I do know that the R.N. did give M.G.B.'s M.T.B. numbers even though they never had torpedo tubes fitted which complicates things a bit!!

Royal Navy CT17 formally US PT 198

These are a few scans of my Father in Law Harold Phillips when in the Navy during 1944.

CT-17 was built by the US as a Higgins PT-198 in 23 January 1943 and transferred to Royal Navy in April 1943 as a Controlled Target Boat, basically a torpedo boat converted to target towing vessels, used, I think, for the RAF to practice firing at a high speed target at sea, it was returned in August 1946 and sold to Republic of the Philippines in 3 September 1946.
