The gap in the names is LS' doing. There are only the two and they flow
smoothly from one into the other.

I removed the extra bytes and posted 5 rar sets a few months back. It was
just a case of removing a terminal byte ($0A). A short program did the trick.

I have two of those. lh2-030-043 seems to be lacking from every source.

Ducky is in the Adobe header, the most common header found in LS images. That
file lacks it. I believe it to be a forgery. It's the wrong header, the
wrong size, and is just a duplicate of the preceding image. I included it in
error in my csv and EAX called my attention to it. I'm going to remove it
from my csv.

There is an Old Story archive on p2p. I grabbed it and compared the files
meticulously with the equivalent un- images. Four sets depart from being an
exact duplicate of the same number un set.
Copy un sets 1 to 79 to Old Story. Copy un-81 to Old Story set 80. Finally
copy un-88 to Old Story set 81. Rename all replacing un- with lod-0. There
are now three sets with errors.
Swap the names of lod-021-024.jpg & lod-021-025.jpg. That gets
you down to two sets with errors. Rename lod-074-064.jpg to lod-074-
064r.jpg, then get the corrupted original (I'll post it). This gets you down
to just one bad folder. Rename all the files in set 80, lowering them by
one, so that lod-081-002.jpg becomes lod-081-001.jpg and the lod-081-
001.jpg becomes lod-080-110.jpg.

Tell me about it ;( The site seems to have been in a state of flux.
Something like 8 images were reissued with the logo repositioned, and it
appears maybe one whole set was reissued as well. I'm trying to index it all
and it's a bear. I found just two images to quibble about in your csv. Both
are corrupt to begin with, but yours has even more corruption than CD's. I'm
close to issuing my csv but I'll run those images past you first.
