However, there's a lot of detail missing:
Are the different data points different motors, or is it all the same motor?
What was the power supply? What was used to control the voltage?
Is this with the gearbox or without?
How fast did it turn?

At first I thought it was one motor with a lot of noise in the data, but now you have me wondering.

What was the power supply? What was used to control the voltage?
It was probably a variable DC supply.

Is this with the gearbox or without?
Did the FP come assembled with a gearbox in the 2005 KoP? If yes, then with; else without... would be my guess

How fast did it turn?
Yes, I would have liked to see that as well, to do a sanity check with the equations.
