MEMCAL is the blue lidded package.

You have 2, although one is incomplete.  AXSH2423 is one, AWSX is the
other.  The sticker on the outside of the ecm usually reflects the BCC
of the calibration originally included with the ecm.  The sticker on
the memcal should reflect the calibration that's in the memcal.

I can't answer this.  I don't know where in your calibration the prom
id is stored.  It's usually in the first line though.  What do you
mean by A?S?2329?

As a point of interest, later calibrations arte alphabetically higher.
: )  So AXSH is a later release than AWSX, which would agree with the
theory that the original calibration was replaced with an updated
version.
