While transiting to a patrol area (naturally, I didn't record the details) I came across a freighter identified by my crew as a Medium Heavy Load Freighter. Wanting to confirm the ID, I brought up the same entry in the Recognition Manual. To my surprise there is a significant difference between the vessel pictured in the manual and the one I was looking at in the scope.
The one in the manual shows a ship with the superstructure built on the stern, not unlike a tanker. The one I was seeing in the scope had a central superstructure and looked considerably different overall.
Not a biggie in the great scheme of FOTRSU, but still...
