Anton, going back to your original post about the numbering. 

It strikes me that the numbers are more likely to be shelf marks - locators- than acquisition numbering.

The discrepancy in numbering / saying that you mention would be because the cataloguing would have been done once his library was big enough to warrant such a system, ie, towards the end of his life.

That meets some counter-arguments, the foremost of which at 2am local time here in Moscow appears to me thus:

if the numbering were done all at once at some later time, then the numbers would have been a) consistent in their form and b) consistent in their ink, neither of which seems to be in place.
