I don't think there was any probelem with the wk.nr. identity of this aircraft ..... the reason why it doesn't have the original scheme , is because it is unknown .... no pictures of her as found at Zeltweg are known to exist.
From info I have , it is more likely that 610824 is the airframe with the more 'suspect ' nummer . Oddly enough , her original colours are known , but she is not painted in them !!
