Dear Rick,
Thanks for this. We are accumulating a list of developmental oddities like this on the Forum. It may prove useful to some researcher in the future. Such dvelopmental mistakes are not that common, but with so many pairs of eyes now looking, we are building up a respectable list.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
