This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “Original date OCR '15May4t7' interpreted as 15May47 based on renewal date 5Jun74 (27 years later). Original number 'L998' interpreted as LP998 (common LP prefix). Claimant 'EMK A' corrected to 'EMKA' based on surrounding records.”
