Table 4.

Test for swapped plates. a) Plate r is seen here to have a problem, but from the table we see that it is most certainly not a plate rotation. b) A check of the distance matrix shows the {r, q} comparison to be quite good and satisfies the criteria for a match, indicating that plates r and q have been accidentally swapped.
