No need for an apology, I too meant no offense nor hostility. I was

Which suggests that maybe they were created by someone at TLG,
perhaps. Or perhaps the person who created them simply had access
to high end printing equipment at the time. It is a curious, I

I'd say that the errors were most likely introduced because the
instructions were created by someone trying to copy the model

Not likley, unless you knew someone who worked at TLG, and could
do the research.
