Do you have a pic of the back of the headstock, GG?

Don't know much about the Corona label formats, but CU and CV prefixes seem correct ... What doesn't make sense to you, GG?

The CV prefix is correct for the D-55, but the numbers were used sequentially and the highest I've seen is in the high hundreds CV000xxx. The CV120001 would imply that 12000 D-55s were made and we know that can't be the case given Corona production was only a few years and D-55 production was low no matter what facility it was made in.

I think Ralf or Hans will have to figure it out.

Without some info on the source of the two pictures it's hard to tell. Could be a few reasons.
