Correct me if i am wrong but with Douglas merged to create MD they still produced the DC-10's
later on McDonnell Douglas produced the DC-10 and the MD-11 (the DC-10 for only a limited period after)

I might be wrong but but than why are all the other DC-10's only say Douglas

I assume that all the others were made before the merger (by Douglas alone), and the DC-10-30ER was made after the merger.

The merger was in 1967 which was after the DC10 was designed because the DC10 went into production in 1968 and the original design was produced weeks before the merger.

Based on that info CHR is right and this is not a bug
