I think your sources have their info crossed.

The serials in #1 are messed up. As I noted before 44-74832's ID was transferred to 45-11453 circa 1985 restoration.

#2 In the FAA database (just checked)

44-74230 ----- N5466V
44-74832 ----- N551MR
45-11453 ----- N59038 (no owner listed)

You might just be getting your numbers confused.

: Thank-you very much. Two things muddle the IDs/histories
: of these airframes...
:
: #1 One reference I have indicates that "components" (no d
: etails) from 44-74230 were used in the restoration of 44-1
: 1453 prior to the 1996 crash.
:
: #2 The current 44-74230 appears on the FAA register as N5
: 51MR right now which of course was previously assigned to
: 44-74832. (this causes the most confusion at first)
