K-4 plate on ebay, C/N 3475, Juniata 5-1918. Any idea of what engine # this was?

If the plate is genuine, it came from none other than the 1361. The 1361 was dropped from the roster in 1956, and it's possible that someone "liberated" an original plate while it was in storage. The seller noted that it had been hung on a barn door "for about 50 years."

I understand that the seller has since withdrawn the plate from auction, but don't know the reason. I do know some people questioned its authenticity, and others speculated that the seller may have been contacted by the 1361's owners.
