Yep. As far as I know all the current geosurvey ones are Basler conversions, but there are different engine options if I recall correctly. e.g. https://www.bellgeo.com/aircraft https://www.bellgeo.com/aircraft and http://www.dc-3.co.za/dc-3-south-african-operators/spectrem-air.html http://www.dc-3.co.za/dc-3-south-african-operators/spectrem-... There are other conversions though. The South African ones were done by Braddick Air Services, based on a licence from Schafer/AMI in the US, so it's subtly different from the Basler BT-67s.

Ahh you're right! It was actually one of those Bell Geo aircraft. I had forgotten the name of the company. Those engines are actually on the wikipedia page, but the front view in this photo looks different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basler_BT-67#/media/File:Basler_south_pole.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basler_BT-67#/media/File:Basle... That must indeed be a different engine option. Thanks for the clarification!
