#167390 - Not a safe assumption at all!

an allotment series that started in 1990 will not be in use now.

That is not a safe assumption at all!

older allotments from a different geographical area are least likely to clash if used again.

I think that would also be pretty risky - I think it's quite common to find that "old" equipment is exported from its original area of deployment to be re-used in other - so-called "less developed" - areas...
