Low confidence. This number was found loose in a stretch of OCR where two printed columns are interleaved, so its own © date clause could not be read; the link rests on the number and the renewal year alone. Read the page image before relying on it.

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 '©' as '€' and 'notice' as 'nctice'. Original number M4841 is likely MP4841. The renewal number R627302 is clearly read from the line '26Feb76; R627302.'”
