The visiting team has to supply the scorer with that information. That usually means something on paper that can be copied. If the visiting team didn't supply the scorer with any info, then the onus certainly isn't on the scorer or the R. It's solely on the visiting team. Assuming that the scorer knew is not a defense that the visiting team can use either. Sooooo, if the wrong info does get entered, it's the fault of the visiting team and they should get a team technical foul charged to them.
Unless I read your original post wrong, those circumstances are completely different. If a scorer tells me that he has everything he needs at around the 10-minute mark, I usually just take him at his word.
In this case, you were doing your job properly imo. If you can avert having to call an administrative "T", great. And you did that by making sure that the visitors properly complied with the rule.
