Same photo here but different "doctored":

Another one here maybe "undoctored":

We might look at GABONKUST here (first vessel from the yard) and the name of the 2nd was applied for documentation (not uncommon). Compare the two air vents upfront, tall on GABONKUST, lowered on CAMEROUNKUST.

The name has been "doctored" onto the photograph. The name was always on the white painted top-sides in dark lettering.
