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 'S1Apr44' interpreted as 1Apr44 (S likely OCR error for 1). Original number '112748' interpreted as LP12748 (missing 'P' common in OCR).”
