I will provide you with the way number, and whomever has the experience going back to a previous version/changeset, will need to do so, in order to match the OSM rendering with what is currently being rendered over at Google MapMaker.

You might send the way number to Grant and Emilie, or normally to the
Data Working Group data at osmfoundation.org, just so you can have a few
people check your work.  Another set of eyes can be helpful.

Also, as more data sets are opening up it is possible that Map Maker
and OSM editors are using similar sources.
