    Several sources on the 1953 Buenos Aires GP list Ascari's race number as 12. Farina was #10, Villoresi #14 and Hawthorn #16 all with type 625 FL.

    Is it possible that Ferrari brought both a 625 FL (with #12) and a 375 F1 (#18) for Ascari for comparison?

    I'll be different :)

    On January 18th for the Argentine GP I have Ascari #10, Farina #12, Villoresi #14 and Hawthorn #16

    For the Buenos Aires GP on February 1, I have this:

    Farina #10 (625 FL)
    Villoresi #14 (625 FL)
    Hawthorn #16 (625 FL)
    Ascari #18 (375 F1)
    Marimon #56 (166 xx)
    Lopes #?? (166 FL)

    I have this as a photo of the start. Ascari, Villoresi, Farina and Hawthorn on the front row.

    Yes. There were four 500s competing in the Argentine GP a fortnight earlier. The engines were replaced with the 625s for the Buenos Aires GP. Ascari set the fastest time in practice with the 375 and, I assume, preferred that.
