[figures retained from the source: 1930] CATALOGUE IDENTIFICATION AND PROBABLE VARIANT Working identification: Scott 551/653 candidate. Most likely attribution: most likely the common/base variant of Scott 551/653 candidate; a less frequent subtype is not accepted without physical evidence. Confidence: low. Possible alternatives: Fourth Bureau emissions have separate flat and rotary-print varieties and different teeth that are not reliably determined by the face-scramble.
