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: “Renewal number of interest (unreadable) corresponds to R635127 from the surrounding lines. The OCR chunk 'R€35127' is a misread of R635127, with '€' for '6', '3' for '3', '5' for '5', '1' for '1', '2' for '2', '7' for '7'. The original number M4076 is likely MP4076 (MP prefix for motion picture). Renewal date '4dun76' is interpreted as 4Jun76 (June 4, 1976), but the standard 28-year term from April 15, 1949 would be April 15, 1977; the OCR may have misread 'Apr' as 'dun' or the renewal was filed slightly early. Given the pattern, the renewal date is likely 1976-04-15, matching the original date's day and month.”
