This Beaver was delivered to the US Army in May 1957 as 56-0379. After Army service, it was registered N57942 with the Civil Air Patrol in October 1976. The aircraft was exported to Canada in 1981 to become C-GPMV, but was never registered. Surmising from the aircraft's history at dhc-2.com, it was stored until sold as a project in 2021 to Arcus Aero who rebuilt it with updated modifications. It was registered N57XL in 2022. Note the USCAR shows the N57XL's cn as 1680. That was a military acquisition number dating back to military service. 1680 is a Turbo Beaver built in 1967 (cn 1680TB48).
