The metal debris artifact 2-2-V-1 which TIGHAR considered possibly from the Lockheed 10E Electra registered NR16020 is now recognized as being from a C-47 based on forensic analysis of the artifact. Like the sextant box with numbers 3500 and 1542 which was once thought to have belonged to Fred Noonan, the artifact 2-2-V-1 is thus unrelated to the 1937 circumnavigational flight attempt by Earhart and Noonan.
