Film is switched in the catalog...how can I find the correct film?

I was looking through the records for Perledo, Italy. I clicked on the Item for film number 2141835 which is supposed to be tied to DGS number 7174160. However, when clicking on the link, DGS 7174160 has actually been assigned to film number 2141309. So now film number 2141835 is seemingly lost to the "void". This is also problematic as film 2141309 should not be publicly displayed due to privacy laws. Furthermore, the catalog shows that it should have been assigned to DGS 7969940.

Here is the link to the film:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/film/007174160?cc=2046897&cat=996783

Here is a link to the catalog entry that leads there:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/996783?availability=Family%20History%20Library

Here is a catalog entry to where the films of 2141309 actually belong to:

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&query=%2Bfilm_number%3A2141309

So, how can I actually access film 2131835?
