Narrative:
On jan/mon/03, I was sorting the part tags for entry into wheels report. The tags for aircraft X showed for 1-300/-500 series nosewheel, and 1-700 series nosewheel. Aircraft X landed at dallas at approximately XA00 hours on jan/mon/03, and both installed nosewheels are correct for the -700 series aircraft. The tags were improperly/incorrectly printed at the time nosewheel assemblies were received. On jan/mon/03, I also discovered that aircraft Y showed mismatched nosewheels. These were installed on jan/fri/03. I spoke to mr X, who informed me that aircraft Y had remained overnight at las, and that they can check and/or change nosewheels before it leaves.
