Narrative:
After we pushed back to deice and engine start we recognized the flight number and crew name discrepancies on the paperwork. The captain corrected the crew numbers in the initialization and contacted flight control about the discrepancies and to update the flight plan. After recognition of the paperwork issues we did everything we could to mitigate the situation before starting our taxi for departure. I need to be more disciplined in cross checking the paperwork to aircraft and crew especially on a turn when trying to make up time from a delay and when there is a lot to do in less time; and on the backside [of] a duty day. It would have been beneficial if we could have been notified in some manner that we would be doing a tail swap. Also of benefit is if the captain's name was printed on the release next to the signature line. Personally I would probably recognize an incorrect name before an incorrect tail number; especially if I was predisposed from habit to expect to fly the second leg in the same tail as the first leg.
