A couple of notes as I'm doing research on various European formations ...
Bcm 243 / Bcom 246
How to distinguish those two passenger cars? The Bcm 243 is an older variation and doesn't have air conditioning, so the roof is completely flat. The Bcom 246 is newer and equipped with A/C, so there's a ventilation grille on the roof above the 2nd window - see below

Old DB / New DB AG logos
In 1994, DB changed - almost overnight - all the logos on its rolling stocks. The old DB logo refers to the West Germany national company, whereas the new one is after the merge of DB and DR, resulting on DB AG. Therefore, it is very very rare to see cars mixed with different logos - there should always be consistent!
