In this photo the union link is not mounted directly on the wrist pin. The 473 and 476 both had the union link moved to the wrist pin sometime in the late 30's or 40's, meaning that this is most likely the 478. In the photo of the "478" in Chama the union link is attached directly to the wrist pin. Any idea why the numbers would have been swapped?
