FIGURE 1. (Below) The Neinken plating diagram illustrates a diagonal line of color cutting across the remains of the short Ornament M. This plating mark is indeed a faint line of color, as can be seen in the photo to the left. The image to the right is a poor impression but other plating marks of interest can be seen.

FIGURE 2. (Below) Blurs of color in the lower right ornaments, as illustrated in the Neinken plating diagram.

FIGURE 3. (Below) A blurry dot of color in the S of U.S. is not illustrated in the Neinken plating diagram, but is confirmed as consistent here. The plating diagram does illustrate two vertical lines inside Ornament A and above the small unnamed ornament. (the north and south pointing red arrows.)
