Which Kodak documents say Status M densitometry is used for ECN-2 materials and LAD, and do they define how it relates to other density encodings or to a specific datasheet edition?

Kodak H-61A gives the camera-negative LAD standard patch nominal Status M densities of 0.80 R, 1.20 G, 1.60 B; this lab-control LAD is a different context from H-387's digital-recorder printing-density LAD (CV 685), and neither document converts between the two. Curator qualifications: H-333 Status M/A control-strip statements, data-sheet labels and H-61D/F duplicate-negative aims (E1-E3, E6, E7) not reinspected. S11/E5 of this batch is under producer CONFIDENTIAL hold (ADDENDUM-001) and was not used. Limitations: One Kodak guide. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
