While he correctly points out that sometimes purported relevant documents posted on social media are fakes I would also observe that the pictures of different versions of the pink maintenance page are not necessarily inconsistent with the workflow of a maintenance signoff.

A lot of folks take pictures of the signed paperwork these days for CYA purposes, these pictures could be a shot of the inbound squawks and another of the page with the work signed off.
