ECMA 2022 code newly claimed, and the clearest of the closure 21 plates because both ends are tucks. The p.25 plate hangs the base tuck over the third panel from the glue seam and puts the extended back panel over that same third panel on top, with the top tuck lid on the FIRST: the hang tab is two plies of 22.19 each with a fold between them, and the two euro holes sit 7.40 either side of that fold, which is exactly symmetric about it. 20/21 for the two closures, 03/03 for the two panels the code names.
