i always tought the number on the tail is the same as in the code under the cockpit?

not really, in some occasions tailcode might be the same as the last 2 digits of the nose code, but that seems coincidental as most aircraft have quite a different code on the tail. Not sure what the purpose of this tailnumber is though....

[FISHER01]

some look ups

MM7180/32-20/20 last note 07-2008 and should have 50000hours on tail
MM7148/51-15?/48 last note 07-2003
MM7182/51-62/82 last note 11-2007
MM7131/51-11/31 last note 06-2008
MM7144/51-03/44 last note 07-2008
MM7173/51-21/73 last note 04-2005/ bit weird 51-21 should be MM7143/51-21/43 last note 10-2007
MM7171/32-04/04 last note 05-2008
MM7196/32-07/07 last note 09-2008 from TLP Florennes?

The two digits in tail have two different purpose, it depends on the Wing.
For the 51° FW the two digits usally are the last digit of the mm
For the 32° FW the two digits usally are the same of those under the cockpit.

This is just a guideline, expecially nowadays with the Acol upgrade underway, it isn't always respected.

The cockpit digits are almost unnecessary, the only useful info is the Wing, and it's not a reliable info, just becouse may be not unique and could change during the re-painting.

Hope this helps

Bye
