The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N668M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Consolidated COMMODORE 16 TYPE 1 (serial 12, cancelled November 3, 1943). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
