I don't:
Tudor I:
Tare weight (lbs) - 47,960
All-up weight (lbs) - 71,000
Useful load: 23,040 lbs.
Tudor V
Tare weight (lbs) - 46,300
All-up weight (lbs) - 80,000
Useful load: 33,700 lbs.

"As then envisaged, the Tudor was to be a modification of the Lancaster IV
(later the Lincoln) with a new pressurized fuselage to carry a load of
1,705kg over 6,400km." That must've been the "useful load" for crossing the
Atlantic: http://www.aviastar.org/air/england/avro_tudor.php
Besides, 3,765 lbs is about the useful load of:
Mitsubishi MU-2J
Cessna Citation M2
Britten-Norman Trislander
Enough for 10 pax and 600 lbs. fuel
Also, the Tudor's competitor, the DC-4, had an empty weight of 43,300 lb
(19,640 kg) and a MTOW of 73,000 lb (33,100 kg)
There's your fifteen tons...
