In a word, no.

Are we reading the same thread? We are on its third bundle of posts.

What is clear is that the BEA has on their record from the FDR the indications for the Left Seat pilot, but not for the Right Seat pilot.
The question I asked is
What was the PF seeing?

It is more likely that the CVR will give more clues.

Unless what has been posted is wrong, the FDR does not record what was on his display.

But that isn't even what I am asking, Clandestino.

You spend much time flying?
I think so.
You familiar with a scan pattern?
I think so.
You use one?
I think so.
You spend much time teaching people how to fly?
I don't know if you have, but I have.
Try your dismissive line elsewhere.

What the pilot flying was seeing is driven by his scan.
You assume that his displays matched the Left Seat displays. Fine.

Cheers.
