How do the photographers know the order

Hi guys,

I am becomming more of a plane spotter as the weeks go on.

I posted a question earlier with regards to a Boeing 747-436. I know there was a 400 series but not a 436. Anyways, I was advised that the the 4 is the 400 series and the 36 is the Boeing Customer Order Number.

However, if the photographers show that the airline is for example J8 (Sudan Airways), we know that the plane was ordered by a different company, but how do the photographers know who placed the order. As far as I am aware the only mention on the body of the aircraft is 737-400, where does it state the order number ? How do they know.

LDG

Once again, thanks guys
