I went with about 30 members of Horus to the Discovering Tutankhamun exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford at the weekend. There were several very large copies of photos taken by Harry Burton at the time of Howard Carters discovery of the tomb in 1920s. I spotted two mis-spellings of Tutankamuns name in the hieroglyphs. On one end of his sarcophagus between the goddesses Isis and Nepthys his cartouche has a t missing from his name. And on the north wall of his tomb towards the right of the wall Tutankamun is shown as the god Osiris. His name is immediately in front of his head and once again spelt with a t missing. I believe you can see the photos on Osirisnet. You can just about see the mistakes in The Complete Tutankamun pages 73 and 105.
