Doug, I asked Bob Verish about this a few months ago. The MetBul does not show number designations, it recognizes two stones that make up the TKW for the Los Angeles meteorite. The 001 and 002 designations were internal to Mr. Verish for his own record keeping, but I believe he said (and I hope he'll chime in and correct me if I am mistaken) he used them publically a few times and without realizing it the number designation spread.
