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 'S0Aug44' interpreted as 30Aug44 (1944-08-30). Original number 's 112882' interpreted as LP12882 (OCR misread L as 1, P as s).”
