I made my own screengrab from the TNA site and tried it with Photoshop but my rudimentary skills made very little difference. I think the problem is that the original was black type on off-white paper (I first encountered DEFE 3 before it was microfilmed) and was sometimes either faint or a bad carbon copy so there isn't much detail to recover. Somebody else may have better luck though.

The HW 5 series equivalent message (CX/MSS/ reference at the top left) would solve the problem, if anyone has it.
