Nonmatching vehicle data plates?

I noticed there is an M1123 for sale with a nonmatching Sling and Tie Down data plate. Have they been known to swap models during refurb / reset?

The sling info will be what the truck actually is. I have heard they put just about anything on for the new data plate at reset. And, we all know that is NOT a 2010 HMMWV. lol.
BUT, does that tiedown tag show "m1114"? If so, that should be a turbo model. That is definitely not a turbo diesel slantback...that tag was just tossed on there.

That was a poor quality pic that I attached. But, yes, the sling data plate shows M1114. I can understand a mismatched M1123/M1097 but this is a bit of a stretch.
