I noticed that too. I reckon it's a Stirling because of the cockpit framing, engine exhausts (Halifax radial engine exhausts were low and externally handed per wing, Stirlings' exhausts exited to the right and top of each cowling, irrespective of wing), window shapes and wingspan. Great footage isn't it? The Boston was a great looking aeroplane.
No. 107 Squadron RAF, Douglas Boston III, IIIA;January 1942-February 1944 Replaced Blenheims, when returned from Malta; and were replaced by Mosquitoes.
In cockpit footage shows two engines on each wing! A Halifax if I’m not mistaken?

G'day,
I agree with the

Theory...
Not quite the right
Wingplan for a
Hallibag...(!).
Take it easy,
Have a good one...
Stay safe...
;-p
Ciao !
