Columbus' registry is conjecture. The only known footage of this shuttlecraft is a reuse of stock footage for the Galileo.

And the encyclopedia says an Oberth visually identified in TNG is actually an Olympic Class.

Argh!!!! No more discussions on Encyclopedia officialness! Create a forum for it! I know the Biko is Oberth! I believe the Columbus is shuttle 02, and that is that! No one can stop me from believing that!

I am the very model of a modern Major-General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral, I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical; I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical, About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news, With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

Just curious... Was Janeway's shuttle Starfleet property at all, or a civilian vessel? I didn't see obvious Starfleet markings, but there was a UFP emblem prominently visible, right?
As for the "Caretaker" shuttle, there are two possibilities. Either the people who shot the scenes cared a LOT about the scene: hence, they invented a rationale for why Stadi would be flying around in a shuttle, instead of giving Paris a turbolift ride to the ship - "this shuttle is coming from another ship that brough Paris here, since his parole proceedings took so long he couldn't accompany the Voyager"; they also invented a new rego for the ship and her shuttle, and finally did that little in-joke with the brief NCC-1701-D rego.
Or then they did not care at ALL: hence, they at first filmed the shuttle using an off-the-shelf, NCC-1701-D-labeled model; and only when nagged on the issue by somebody else did they decide to relabel the shuttle for close-ups, without bothering to ask HOW exactly it should be relabeled.
Ahhhhh...
