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 number '11337' interpreted as LP1337 (common OCR drop of P and misread of 3 as 3). Renewal number R591484 appears on the line following the previous record's renewal (R591434), but the surrounding text clearly associates it with 'King-size canary'.”
