Hi again Allan, Just a follow up ... The heading for the 1st column on the indent is No. (as in number). If you compare the writing "style" and other numbering on the indent, I think you may find that the number/s is actually 2039 124, with the down stroke on the nine being somewhat cursive and fancy.

Hello Diane, many thanks for your input. You have put me on a path of understanding that I would not have thought of on my own. At least not for some time any way.
