Yeah, Bellof drove the 956 as well with those markings. What I meant, was that it is kind of weird them trying to make a 956 out of it with 956 graphics instead of doing one of the 962 versions which would be more accurate. Either way though, yours is a great replica.
As for the wheels and tails, the 962 has used wheels from 16" to 19" depending on which year and place of entry. There also been 962's with the 956 tails, for example the #55 Fitzpatrick entry in the 1984 LeMans. Easiest way to tell is by far the area in front of the doors. I have even seen a restored 956 that was made into IMSA specs by adding the turbos and hump. It would have never made it through inspection, but someone out there (with a lot of money to waste) thought it would be neat.
