    It is proved that the collineation group of the Moufang-Klingenberg plane over the local alternative ring \(R=A+A\varepsilon\) with \(A\) an alternative division ring and \(\varepsilon^2=0\), is transitive on quadrangles. As a corollary the coordinatizing local alternative ring of such a plane is independent of the choice of the quadrangle used in the coordinatization. Also the concept of \(6\)-figures is extended from ordinary projective planes to these Moufang-Klingenberg planes and it is shown that any \(6\)-figure corresponds to a unique invertible \(m\) in \(R\).
