unusual use of checkerboard - some ‘doubling up’ within squares, to maintain alternation of hatching, begun from top to bottom, as ‘problems’ occur on the bottom. Suggestion of 7th register. Like 435., on rev ‘des. F.V.’, also on http://www.matriznet.dgpc.pt/MatrizNet/Objectos/ObjectosConsultar.aspx?IdReg=129154
