Comments:
The VAM-5A is the LDS of VAM-5 Die 1.
The original VAM-5 VAM Plate in the 2003 VAM Supplement is for VAM-5 Die 1 and VAM-5A.
VAM-5 Die 1 and VAM-5A is a completely different set of dies than VAM-5 Die 2.
Wanna be confused? In June 2017, Leroy changed the VAM-5 Die #1 to VAM-5 Die #2, and VAM-5 Die #2 to VAM-5 Die #1.
