While the studio model for the Yosemite (clearly showing the registry number on the secondary hull) was shown in Cinefantastique magazine, this screencap shows that the registry on the saucer was likewise changed too.
The interesting thing is that this episode takes place before DS9's "Emissary," and the Oberth carrying Dax and Bashir to the station was listed as the Cochrane. But the model would still have been labeled as the Yosemite, with her 19002 registry...

I guess we will find out once DS9 will be released on Blu Ray (fingers crossed!).
By the way, I wouldn't had a problem if it was the Yosemite instead of the Cochrane.
On another topic, there is also a picuture of a Runabout on Trek Core. I think they used the Rio Grande for that shot. I don't think name or reg will be visible due to motion blur, but it would be nice to have a new name/reg here instead.

Check out time index 29:40. There are a few ships mentioned: Uss Hood, Uss Charleston, Uss Marrimac and two others that I cannot read.

^I don't have the Bluray; I just got the Mare Tranquillitatis info from Memory Alpha.

But if you like you can check with the DVD: It is the scene where LaForge is in the command center of the relay station. There is a big display on the wall, saying 'Releay Message Flow 1293'. There are at least five ship names in the list, all starting with USS and a few star bases (e.g. SB 72).
Unfortunately the name of USS Mare Tranquillitatis is only faintly readable, as is the name of the captin.

Huh? Why not? If you have screencaps, you can send them to me and I'll post them.

Douglas Drexler is the captain.
Also, in "Darmok" we find out that the Shiku Maru has an S.S. prefix, not U.S.S., and that its registry is NDT-3XXX4 (38864 is my guess), so it's not a Starfleet ship:

Yes, it is possible to link external pictures. Somehow I was under the impression that I can upload pictures to Flare once I have a certain number of posts...

He's probably referring to the 250 post requirement to make use of Flare Upload.
The Shiku Maru was always generally thought to be a non-Starfleet vessel. It was listed that way (though not specifically with an "S.S." prefix) in the official reference works, and in real life the Japanese suffix Maru is only applied to civilian vessels.*
*(Add yet another reason to the list for why J.J. Abrams' Trek is @#%&*! stupid.)

The "U.S.S." prefix for the ship was listed at Memory Alpha, but they've since deleted the page (probably updating it with the new info).

So there's four starbases and eight ships listed. Here's what I can make out.
STARBASE 54 STARBASE 76 STARBASE 12 STARBASE Beta or Zeta
USS K'XXXXX USS CHARLESTON USS XXXXXE USS HOOD? USS MERRIMAC USS XXXXX USS CAROLINE? USS ZHUKOV?
There's also a Starbase 4112.
