lol!  That's awesome.  I'm imagining someone saying to themselves, "holy
crap, I'm not setting up fifty shots that they aren't going to be able to
tell the difference between anyway, let's just use this one!"  Maybe they
realized on the other one that they needed to turn it around and shoot
without any identifying marks.

With the zoom you can see the 'm' from the mm stamped in on the right side
(in case anyone's not convinced by the other two 17's in the picture.  That
is hilarious.  I posted a helpful question in their discussion section on
it.

Nice detective work there Don.
