I have numerous other DB 605 AS engines that have the same format: ZZZXXX/XXXX, where the leading Zs are the AS rebuild numbers, and the XXX/XXXX portion is the actual Motornummer.

Hi Steve,
in the mean time, our friend Nick Beale told me it was an ASM.
Since we are talking about 163447, report AI2(G) serial 253 says it was found at Beauvais-Nivillers (incorrectly written Beauvais-Nivelles). Just 2,5km of taxiway from Tillé.

Best regards,
Franck.
