(admittedly 10 remain in the Hausberg block) and of the 2 c. there are but 13 pairs recorded with Brian Moorhouse owning over half the known examples. It is also interesting to note that the adjoining pair to the above (which would have a fault at upper right frameline) remains unrecorded. (Image 1) (Image 2)
