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 date '17Decl2' interpreted as 17Dec42 based on renewal date 19Nov70 (27-28 year rule). Original number L11774 interpreted as LP11774.”
