My thanks to everyone who answered (Steven, Julian, Han and Malcolm, 
- I hope I didn't miss anyone? - and in particular to Steven who 
pointed out what should have been obvious to me.   The matrix number 
in the runout is partly covered by the label, but shows through if I 
brighten the image.  It's 19322-1.
