Hello Konrad,

Many thanks for your post Numbered 3145, apologies I have had some bad news this week and have taken time off from the Forum to digest it.

With regards to your question the simple answer is he was possibly just missed off the original list and after it came to light he was added onto the end of the allocation.

We will probably never know the reason why this happened, all that we can do is to surmise what might have happened

Best wishes
