If the bottles that are there now are not original, whose to say the CO bottles are? Maybe Soviets took CO bottles from somewhere else and put them there to take a picture and then moved them.
 
Yes, obviously. In fact the Soviet photo of room 14 is that of an empty room, only displaying some pipework on the walls, whereas the Soviet photo of the five canisters may actually be from Barrack 52, which is ten buildings to the south, and which is the location the Soviets claimed to have found CO and Zyklon in a chemical storage room. It's in their 1944 report, p.121 of Graf & Mattogno.
Since there is apparently no German document explaining the usage of CO in the camp, both sides of the debate are highly speculative in this area. Planted evidence is possible. But something has to account for the strange arrangement of pipes in the bunker and the blue staining that formed near them.

The museum said to me they used bottles from the camp casino to show what it looked like back then.
 
It would be good to know if this is merely the opinion of that museum rep or if they have solid evidence that this was done. Because currently it is a matter of open debate as to where the CO2 tanks came from. Mattogno still speculates that those two CO2 tanks could have been among the five supposed CO tanks.

Another thing I want to bring up is the "seventh gas chamber" at Majdanek. This HC blog says that it was never identified as a 
homicidal gas chamber.
 
Well, what Romanov says is that it was identified as homicidal by the museum but given short shrift -- only three mentions -- in the Soviet report. It wasn't left out.
Lest anyone doubt it, the museum sign in this room gave this description still 
in 2004: "A GAS CHAMBER BUILT TO EXTERMINATE BY MEANS OF CYCLONE B, POLITICAL PRISONERS FROM THE LUBLIN CASTLE. [workers?] OF THE CREMATORIUM AND GAS CHAMBERS WERE MOST [probably?] KILLED HERE"
