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 likely LP1801 (OCR read as 11801). Renewal claimant truncated; full name not visible in this chunk. Title from line following R605225.”
