It depends on how 1C interpreted 'WEP'. Is it referring to the 5-min 'Vollast/Kurzleistung' (1.35/2400) or the 1 min 'erhoehte Kurzleistung'?

In the former case, if the 1C WEP is equivalent to the historical 5-min rating, 500 km/h on the deck is correct and historically accurate result.

If however they understand WEP as the equivalent of the historical 1-min rating, there is a rather mixed situation: you can indeed reach the historical top speed, but as Banks have noted, by using a rating that was historically prescribed to special takeoffs.
