Apologies, you are right, that was completely my bad -- I was on my phone in an airport and being lazy instead of looking it up. It was about 25kts over Vmo when the right overspeed clacker was going off, but that was still several minutes before the end of the recording. Point still applies though; for whatever reason, likely the being pilots being overburdened with everything else, throttle position and speed were not managed.
