This issue uses a new chalk-surfaced LF-fl paper that appears either DF or NF on the face, and DF or LF on the back. I have done my best to capture these differences by taking pictures with my camera under UV light, but the differences can be harder to see than in real life. That should be borne in mind if you are looking at the scans and cannot tell the difference between them.
