P-51 database error - P-51D at the Italian AF Museum

Scott & all
a general error that seems hard to eliminate....
the P-51D preserved at the Italian AF museum Vigna di Valle near Rome, Italian AF serial MM4323 usually is related to USAAF serial 44-73444 - this is wrong !
Here's the proof - the correct serial actually is 44-73451 as confirmed in this cockpit shot.... the radio-call plate clearly reads 473-451
another attempt in keeping records straight
cordially
Martin
