  Do we transcribe the most recent determination, and/or the original?

  Transcribe what's on the label ie the original

  I think I read somewhere the most recent determination should be used.

  That actually says yes, but and maybe. As in we like the most recent.... but even the original is invaluable....

  Yes. I wonder if they simply don't care about the quality of the data. Otherwise they would give us clear rules how to handle such cases.

  Or maybe this is just some strange kind of social experiment? 😉

  I usually put the latest determination first and then "not whatever is the original one" in parentheses afterwards.

  @T-M I think what the reply in the link means is that if unsure then even the original identification is better than nothing; I'd use latest

  Yes, that's what I think, too.

  I use the latest, if it's clear. But if there is just some scribbling with pencil without date, I ignore it.

  I think the latest determination has the highest chance to be the most correct one. Event if it might be wrong in some cases.

  After all, it's not our job to know if a determination is outdated or even wrong, so we have use the one with the highest chance.
