Two US Navy F3A-1s tested at Patuxent were 04675 and 04678, so it is likely one of these two.

Did you not read Page 5? This is 04691 in a US Navy Color scheme with American markings as stated in the original document. I even included a close up of the BuNo in my post above. There would be no reason for the US Navy to falsify photos in their report. I'm sorry, but you are incorrect.
