What's interesting about the number 3 on the side in that pic is that SFM5003 was written on the cowl and the car was serialized as SFM5R002.  What became SFM5S003 had SFM5001 written on the cowl and the car that became 5R001 most likely had SFM5002 written on it's cowl...

My understanding is job 001 was the street car SMF5S003 and 1st done - job 002 was the R development car SFM5R002 and - job 003 became SFM5R001 the most raced car and championship winner when the tags were finally applied - sometime toward the mid-end of production at least after putting the S & R on the tags became common.
In one of the old Marques the whole mess was sorted out.
