Narrative:
Ground instructions were to taxi to runway 23R. When we approached runway 23R the runway was marked as runway 23D. I was looking for the third runway on my chart or the reason for the discrepancy. When I looked up the captain had taxied onto runway 23 right/D. He thought he was cleared to runway 23L with no instructions to hold short of runway 23R. Supplemental information from acn 466436: in mexico city, taxiing to runway 23R did not notice that I was approaching the active runway. The hold sign said runway 23D and there was a long back taxi to get to takeoff portion of runway. Previous aircraft appeared to be taxiing, when in actuality he was back taxiing into position and hold.
