Or did the pilot eject and the aircraft was still repaired? Something like a ground ejection.

The a/c of Ozdemir was blown apart in the midair and sank to the sea, no chance for repair. So the question of its real s/n remains unanswered unless the a/c photographed in 2007 has a fake s/n painted on it.
