I'm not surprised you're having trouble. Moser appears to have bought F2-9-65 (using Martinelli Sonvico money?) new then traded that in and got a different BT16, F2-2-65, instead. I don't really understand why he would have done that unless he believed a Winkelmann-developed BT16 would have been such a significant improvement on his own BT16. So I am unclear which of those two cars he used in the 1966 Temporada.

Then it appears that he keeps that same BT16 through 1966 and it may even be the F3 car he uses on rare occasions in 1967. You'll need lots of photographs to sort it out with certainty.
