Qatar Airways 777 A7-BEM first flight

Qatar Airways 777-3DZER A7-BEM msn 64088 ln 1525 first flight from Paine Field, Oct 7, flying as BOE908.  Hex code 06A2B1.

Edit: reg A7-BEM now confirmed.

Jen got a pic of it leaving for Portland paint shop Oct 8 and it's interesting to note that the nose wheel door shows the letters 'EO' rather than 'EM' (last 2 letters of the reg).  Official docs as recent as 2 weeks ago show this frame still to be A7-BEM with ln 1527 due to be A7-BEO so unless there's been a (very) recent switch around I'm currently of the opinion that the letters are a red herring and have been applied in error.
