> ...Looking at the handwriting for reel 1, it appears that the transmission session number is rather 709, not 109. Perhaps, I'm mistaken, however in support of this reading speaks also the mission's Lunar day numbering [1] This places the March session recordings, as marked on the reel (509,...) on the 5th Lunar mission day, then May session recordings could correspond to the 7th Lunar mission day (thus 709). Again, just a hunch. Maybe the narrator announces the number clearly on that May tape.

Also an interesting read is the mission PR in the state newspapers [2]. Gives an outlook at what notable was achieved on which date. So this might provide some hints about possible kind of "graphic" content on the tapes...if any, of course.
