It clearly shows T.H. FLOTHER on the engine, although that is probably a misprint, and should be T.H. FLOETHER.

Brian, I believe you are correct, I also missed out the 'Th.' when I replied above

It seems that an o with umlaut "ö" can also be written as "oe" so it would appear that both are correct, and the "Th." is short for Theodor or Theodore.

When was the identity of this engine amended? When it appeared at GDSF in 2004

It had a completely different one.
