Hey Steve,

It is an "O", not a "0".

See below data plate.

Font style is different than a "0".

DB605A-1, MNr. 007/08644
DB605A-1, MNr. 007/08302
DB605A, MNr. 007/09346 (yours)
DB605/ASO*, MNr. 007/08524 (AS rebuild #1548)
DB605/ASO*, MNr. 007/08767 (AS rebuild #1720)
DB605/ASO*, MNr. 007/08822 (AS rebuild #177?)

*These ”ASO” designations are provisional in light of the ongoing discussion whether it is actually ASO or AS0 (zero, not O).
