Looked through ONI 208 picking out likely ships she stands in for in the jap merchant marine:

Ada and Bennevis, and 23 others bought by the japs. 5100-5700 tons. Built in GB. MFM, though close looking.

Looks a lot like Toisei Maru, 5484 tons.

Lima Maru also very close looking at ~7000 tons. (they had 19 of 'em, that's a lot for 1 type in the japanese merchant marine)

Argun and Taibun Maru, almost spot on. 6500-6600 tons.
