- THE 1978 TRANSFER SERIES, a fifteen-day movement permit, WW 01 to WW 99. Modelled expressly so the modern provisional series can be told apart from it, because conflating the two is the origin of the "pre-1979 nnnn WW MC" claim. Reading the as-published 1978 text is what made the distinction visible; the consolidated text alone would have hidden it.
- Format notes
- The 1978 "Série Transfert": "les deux lettres WW suivies d'un groupe de deux chiffres, soit WW 01 à WW 99", maximum validity FIFTEEN DAYS. Note how little it resembles the modern WW series, different grammar, different validity, no trailing MC, and a plate rather than a band.
