Mark is absolutely correct. Also the R is restoration so if it looks correct then not a deduct. Think Stainless Steel sleeved calipers. Can't see it so cannot judge it. External as compared to original and condition. So since this is the original battery case, it has to get full credit. Now if the label was removed and replaced with a replica, could have a deduction there IF not an exact match.
I made 88 - 90 LPTWS label that are identical to original, no deductions. Mark has an incredible piece of history that was most likely a Press test ZR-1 / KoH. The fact it was not crushed is awesome as so few of those still exist.

On the other hand, if a judge says there is no way that battery could still be viable, and then makes a deduction, the owner could appeal to the team leader and, most likely, the appeal would be successful. Prior knowledge also is no basis for a deduction.
If it walks like a duck...
