In this this case, yes. If all that there is with D on it is a bill of sale and a registration request with the model number wrong that does not change the model. Lots of people fill those out wrong and not just on Ercoupes. For instance, most people fill out bill of sales, registration request, log books, etc on early Navions as A because they don't even know that the early ones were just Navion without a letter. The incorrect paperwork does not make the Navion a Navion A and it does not make an Ercoupe C a D. Only making the proper changes to the airframe and filling the proper paperwork will do that. Other then that it is just a clerical error.
