Notes :
(1) Alan Osborn requested confirmation of the use of 59498 in set L411 as he recorded 59488 (was this a mistake or had there been a temporary reformation of set L411 using 59488 from set L403?). LASERman confirms he recorded 59498 so, sorry Alan, it appears to be a typo on your part on this occasion.
