Yes I noticed deviations from modern ('Nato?') phonetics as I would use. The one on the NZ police recording was "Tango, Echo, Apple, Mike, Victoria, Indianna, Echo, Washington, Echo, Roger".
I'll give them half a point for Indiana and Victoria, which should be India and Victor. According to a few moments research I have established that 'Apples' was used by some forces in WWI, and 'Roger' was used during WWII, and 'Washingon' has been used in some Italian variations.
I wonder if there might be some single regional version that aligns all above variations, partly justifying the scammer's version after all?
