A search of the German language site dampflokomotivarchiv.de for 50 133 confirms that this is Borsig 14864 and its history is as follows:

March 1940, delivered to DRB. In September 1944 accepted by SNCB as B 2513, renumbered 25.014 in January 1946 before going to DB and numbered 50 133 once more. In May 1958, there was a frame exchange, as Dale points out, with the loco then being renumbered as 50 622. Later this was computerised to 050 622-0.

This seems to be the explanation of how the Borsig frames ended up as 50 622.

The history of this locomotive appears somewhat unfortunate! For a start, Borsig 14864/1940 is NOT extant in the current Borsig listings ? Instead the actual base locomotive No. 50 622 was delivered and accepted in December 1940 by Henschel & Sohn, Kassel as number 25841/1940 to the then DRB - Deutsche Reichsbahn. In 08/1945 it found itself in the RBGD - Reichsbahn General Directorate of the British Zone of Occupation, Bielefeld; leading to the Incorporation of the HVE as the Railway Department into the Transport Administration; in 07/1949 becoming the newly created DB - Deutsche Bundesbahn. In 05/1958, whilst at Aw Schwerter (east of Hannover) it was modified by exchanging its frame from that of No. 50 2847 - and subsequently re-numbered as such, running in the guise until being withdrawn in 02/1966 at Wanne-Eickel. However, other reports report it lasting longer bearing the frame of No. 50.133 (that could have been the non-extant Borsig locomotive ? However, No. 50 622 was computerised as No. 050 622-0 and in 1976 was at Aw Opladen (north of Köln) and in the 1980s went into the museums fleet at Nürnberg as Tradionslok No. 50 622.but was heavily damaged by fure at Bw NN2 in 10/2005, though apparently now restored to woring order.
