I think you're seeing things that aren't there.
It seems to me to be entirely reasonable to describe it as IAC-161, seeing as it was converted to a T.9 for the IAC, and that was its serial in service with them.
Now if they were converting it back to an LF.IX, PV202 would make more sense, but if it's to be restored as a T.9 in IAC colours, why not describe it using the serial it wore when it flew like that?
