Rebbachisaurus vert

Hello everyone, i have a question concerning Rebbachisaurus vert. 
I saw a huge Kem Kem vert in the Troodon’s collection that he refered to a dorsal Rebbachisaurus vert, the problem is about this identification. I can’t find any other vert like this in rebbachisaurid papers, particularly about Rebbachisaurus who show great difference about the morphology of the neural process and the centrum. I don’t see any pleurocoel on the centrum of the troodon’s vert and the neural spine is laterally flat with a strange « granular plate » on the anterior surface.

I think about two possibilities : maybe this vert is on another position, or pertain to an another specie.

I need help from persons who better know sauropods than me, It’s possible that i miss informations or a paper.

Something you can compare against.  First two photos seem to have a spine similar to the figure

Yes i saw it, this vert need a good cleaning before but i tentatively refered it to one of the last dorsal or the first caudal of Rebbachisaurus due to the curvature and based on the reconstruction of Tataouinea, an other rebbachisaurid
