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 L535 interpreted as LP535. Renewal date '27DecTe' corrected to 27Dec72 based on 27-year renewal window from 1945. Renewal number 'R5A3525' corrected to R543525 (A->4, typical OCR error).”
