Detail of an ID tag on the north side of the engine handling fixture. It reads


McDonnell U.S.A.

It's odd that it's labelled as "McDonnell U.S.A.", as the build date (January 28, 2000) is well after both the date of its merger with Douglas Aircraft Company in 1967 (resulting in McDonnell Douglas) and its acquisition by Boeing in 1997.
