Obscured dates on specimens by D. H. Janzen

On some of the specimens by Janzen (for example ANN0000fj9) the part of the label with the date seem to be obscured/folded back. On the specimen mentioned above, I can make out "1954" after flipping the picture around in Photoshop. Perhaps someone can take a look at the physical label and re-take the photograph with the date not obscured or something.

I think the rest of the date is "3-22-1954". Here's a flipped around image of the label to make it more clear: http://postimg.org/image/jsy6uxmhh/full/

On ANN0000i5t it's the other way around (the side with the date is "up", while the location etc is on the "back").
(btw, that one is easily made out as Escuintla, Guatemala... I just thought I'd bring it up though, since it seems to be an annoying habit of Janzen's to write the date on the back of his labels 😉 )
