Trying to find a trope for a work page here (actually, Series.Panorama and Series.Police Camera Action)
On an episode of Series.Panorama made in July 1998 focusing on a social issue affecting British society, which aired in November 1998, it features footage from August 1998 and October 1998 (from camcorder footage), but the setting of the episode is clearly focused on July 1998 and CCTV footage from the era dates it back to that time.
On an episode of Series.Police Camera Action which was made on 21 July 1997 (it shows in footage on the show itself), and the episode is set around that date as an Extremely Short Time Span (but aired in March 1998), it features footage of a police chase involving a Volvo car from 24 August 1997.
Would this be Anachronism Stew, or is there another production trope involved?
It can't be Period Piece, as that's for dramas, isn't it, and Unintentional Period Piece doesn't really apply, so what trope relating to chronology does fit these two examples?
I don't want to get this wrong on the work pages themselves.
