B1.  Hey (LR, NL, GR, PL)
When I first looked at this, I had to get away from "Left Right" to "Ladies Right." I'd write: (WR, NL, MR, PL). Then looking at this, one need note this is a half-hey. I suppose the person jotting this down knows that, but for the rest of us, adding a X2 could help. Then to be explicit, one has to leave out the last PL. Thus to be totally accurate it's:

(WR, NL, MR, PL, WR, NL, MR)

Which is common, and only 7/8ths of a full hey...
