Brunei F50s and RHD F50s

I thought it might be worth consolidating some of the information found on the Brunei F50s, plus any RHD F50s. RM stated that there were 8 RHD cars, but it is not readily clear there were that many.

This information has been collated, so please do correct anything or fill gaps, if needed.

A few questions are raised:

RM Sotheby's - who I understand should be in the perfect place to comment - stated on the advert for 106985: "One of only eight Ferrari F50s converted to right-hand drive by official Ferrari coachbuilder, Pininfarina". The list, now mostly fleshed out, indicates only 5 RHD cars. Either RM is incorrect (seems fairly unlikely, particularly as I am sure they'd rather have stressed the increased rarity), or 3 RHD cars are missing? Can anyone comment on which is accurate? The only possiblity I can see in the list is 103034 which the HD cannot be verified in the leaked pictures from 2001. Perhaps it could have been RHD and returned to LHD?

Is 107500 simply the Giallo car, as Birel indicates? I am not sure where I confirmed the Argento Nürburgring colour for it. Perhaps it was Silver > Red > Yellow?
