Berkin,
Prefixes change over time.
At one time R1 was used by Russian Antarctic stations. Now I believe they use RI1. 
At one time, FJ was Saint Martin. Now I believe they use FS.
The DXCC desk knows this, as do the card checkers. Sometimes software packages aren't always up to date, or more likely, don't always indicate the entities that a prefix USED to be assigned to, only what it CURRENTLY is assigned to.
Go by what the QSL says. That's what the Desk will go by!

Dear Friends,
Is R1ANB Antartica – OR - European Russia? (ARRL DXCC Desk pretends that this is European Russia.)
Is FJ5DX Saint Barthelemey – OR – Saint Martin? (ARRL DXCC Desk pretends that this is Saint Martin.)
Can you give me info please?
