4516 was exchanged by Lepori against 4830. There are some signs that 4830 was returned by Molsheim to Switzerland with the identity of "4516 overhauled" in order to save import duties.

4830 was NEVER a T35B. It was a T35 sold in March 1927 and reportedly later was equipped with a supercharger and large brakes at Molsheim. But chassis and engine number fit more into the timeline of autumn 1926. It would be rather interesting to see some photos of 4830 from 1927, as I cannot exclude that the car was originally delivered already as T35C with supercharged and larges brakes.

Of course 4830 in 1929 had a supercharger, as well as in 1928 (see photo taken at Rome). Question is for 1927.
