Can anyone help clear up a problem with some 713Ms in 1972.

It's my understanding from press reports that the two works cars [chassis 8 and 9] were sold to the La Vie Clair team for Philippe de Henning and Jean-Claude Alzerat. [the latter is replaced by Hunt at Monaco, and the car is later also driven by Jarier and Dave Brodie] Both cars are advertised for sale together at the end of the 1972 season.
Advertised at the same time is the 713M of Anthony Binnington, which is claimed to be the car used by Hunt in the 1971 season. So, which is this car?
It can't be the 713S [chassis 1] used in early 71 because that's owned by Mike Wilds. Did Hunt also appear in the car that went to MRE [713M-7]?
