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: “OCR misreads: '15Dec4&' = 15Dec48, '63°65' = MP3655, 'FWH' = PWH, '12Jan7€' = 12Jan76, 'R6230€8' = R623868 (adjacent renewal).”
