Being picky, those marks are a combination of the base (Base Aérienne 709-Cognac/Châteaubernard) and the last two of the radio callsigns (typically not used) F-RBFF/FD. FAF serials are 04 and 02 respectively (to be found painted on the fin) and, confusingly, Pilatus's MSNs are 296 and 294, respectively.
