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 '14105' is likely LP4105 (OCR dropped 'LP' and misread '4' as '1'). Original date '29Augs3' corrected to 29Aug33 based on renewal year 1960.”
