C56 56 was Kawasaki 1706 not 1707 (batch was C56 49 to 58 Kawasaki 1699 to 1708) however https://www.florian-grupp.de/rmm/steamLoco.html says it is ex C56 60 Kisha Seizo 1396

Further to my earlier note, I see that Wikipedia states that 0522 was JNR C56.56, which was built by Kawa (1707/1936)

Records are uncertain but no. 0522 would seem to be JNR C5685 (Mitsubishi 185/1936), one of 31 C56 class 2-6-0s sent to Burma during the Japanese occupation and allocated Burmese Railways no.s 511-41. 11 remained in stock in May 1947.
