Help identifying Mongoose Titanium Frame

Tibocanoa

Retro Newbie
Hi all, I recently picked up this titanium mtb frame.
It’s got Mongoose IBOC … SX decals under a clearcoat, but I haven’t found any other that looks like mine online or on catalogues…
It was build with a full xtr m900 groupset and rockshox 93 mag 21 fork.
The serial number is under the bb shel : A3060176
I have read that some of the Ti Mongoose were made by Merlin, but the dropouts look different.
Would someone know more about this frame ? Thanks a lot !

I am not an expert, but this frame appears to have come from the same factory as this Orange Vitamin T (frame number A3061085):

The cable routing is different but the dropouts look the same.
 
You are right, the frames are very similar, as the serial number. The only difference I see at the moment are the cables that are running on top/on the side of the top tube
Thanks a lot !
