I have one that says AR-GL5AJ-BN MF1539 MVII DIAG CUST TK50 here. Not 
sure if it is newer or older. It's a copy someone made at some point, so 
the label is handwritten, and have no date on it.

I am sure I have used it in the past, but I seem to maybe never have 
made a copy, and as I try to read it on my TK70 right now, I'm getting 
read errors... :-(
