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: “The renewal number R604925 is clearly associated with 'The Return of the Whistler'. The OCR shows 'R6€04925' which is a misread of R604925. The original number is '11823' which is likely LP1823 (OCR dropped the P and misread 8 as 1? Actually '11823' is likely LP1823, a common LP number format). The renewal claimant and date are taken from the surrounding lines for R604924 and R604925.”
