Default Lose a capsule, find a capsule - Apollo boilerplate mystery

I haven't noticed this mentioned until I ran across it through

In short: the Aerospace Legacy Foundation took possession of
Apollo Boilerplate Number 6 to renovate it and prepare it for display
in Downey, California, where it was made. When the hatch was removed
for the first time in four decades, they discovered that this was in
fact Apollo Boilerplate Number 12. The fate of Boilerplate Number 6
is not at the moment precisely clear.

The link includes pictures, including some nice ones showing
the North American aviation Space and Information Systems Division
identification panel.
