We construct two non-isomorphic nuclear, stably finite, real rank zero ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras $E$ and ${{E}^{'}}$ for which there is an isomorphism of ordered groups $\Theta :{{\oplus }_{n\ge 0}}{{K}_{\bullet }}(E;\mathbb{Z}/n)\to {{\oplus }_{n\ge 0}}{{K}_{\bullet }}({E}';\mathbb{Z}/n)$ which is compatible with all the coefficient transformations. The ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras $E$ and ${{E}^{'}}$ are not isomorphic since there is no $\Theta$ as above which is also compatible with the Bockstein operations. By tensoring with Cuntz’s algebra ${{\mathcal{O}}_{\infty }}$ one obtains a pair of non-isomorphic, real rank zero, purely infinite ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras with similar properties.
