About this plate
THE ALPHA-FIRST ERA, 1993-2016. Recorded as one series across six reported bases for the same reason the current series is recorded across two: the arrangement is sourceable and the base dates are not. The Louisiana pattern that emerges from both entries is worth stating once, this is a state that changes its PICTURE often and its NUMBER SHAPE almost never, so any Louisiana dating heuristic must key on the base and any Louisiana VALIDATION heuristic must key on the arrangement, and the two answers point in opposite directions.
