Leon, the links seem to work for me.
Jerry, thanks for posting your research, I find it very interesting. We do know that the N175s were issued in 1887, likely later in the year while N162s are certainly an 1888 issue. Leon's overprint dates his pack very close to, if not within, the N175 run. The same pack could have continued into 1888 when the N162s were issued. I hope more details surface with time but lean towards thinking N175s were distributed in the pack with the overprint. Jerry, have you been able to study overprint(s) on the ornate GQ packs?
