Closest species I can think of is Corydoras orphnopterus. It might be a related C-number species too.

C. orphnopterus is identified by the presence of a black blotch in the dorsal fin. This is probably a mixed shipment of C. orphnopterus and something else, but not C141.
You might want to refer to this thread, where Ian Fuller positively identifies some unknown Corys:

Based on the topic info, the fish pictured by iceman is probably C18, a species related to agassizii, instead of orphnopterus. The only way to know is to find out the collection locality.
C. orphnopterus - Rio Bobonaza, Ecuador.
C18 - Rio Purus, Brazil
By the way Ron, the oddball "pulcher" at GC is probably CW028:
