Fabien, I think this is an error compounding another error. NWA 6435
was never assigned to your diogenite. It was assigned to the 444 g
brachinite with field name K-134, now known as NWA 5435. K091 (235 g)
was assigned the provisional number NWA 5133 in 2008 and was classified
by Ted Bunch in 2010 as an L5 (Met Bull 97).

I don't know who is scrambling these names, but something is very wrong.
