Murder on the Day of the Dead - S7-E5

Factual error: The 1966 Ford Mustang 289 belonging to the victim has registration plates from Hawaii, but "DY 536 HR" does not follow the correct format for Hawaiian license plates at that year, or any year for that matter.

Suggested correction: DY 536 HR is a correct French license plate number combination. I determined the owner of this car is in Guadeloupe, where the series is made. Also, the series is set on the fictional island of St Honore, not Hawaii.

Questions

Show generally

Question: Why did the cord on the wall phone in the police station change from straight in the early episodes to coiled later?

Answer: There's probably no particular reason. Sets and props on long-running TV shows often change as needed and for various reasons throughout a series run.

As long as such changes aren't an obvious continuity mistake (e.g. changing multiple times during a day), one can just assume the change happened in-universe as well. Things do get broken or updated occasionally. It adds a bit of realism, in my opinion.
