I finally found that the accompanying .prj are simply outdated. The projection used adopts a GRS80 ellipsoid as in ETRS89, but still use the same parameters for the rest. +proj=laea +lat_0=48.0000000000 +lon_0=9.0000000000 +x_0=0.0000000000 +y_0=0.0000000000 +a=6378137 +rf=298.257222101 +no_defs +to_meter=1.0 -- Francesco P.
