D-020 was relabeled from “Southern United States, 2020” to “Iraq, 2023”

Mission report D-020 is catalogued as Iraq 2023 — but the PDF's own embedded title still says Southern United States, 2020. Both files are byte-identical.

Different country. Different year. The original-titled file is still served at a predictable URL. This is the single highest-impact discrepancy in the release.

Evidence

The public catalog row reads **DOW-UAP-D020, Mission Report, Iraq, 2023 with incident date 3/31/23 and location Iraq**.

The PDF's embedded **/Title field still reads DOW-UAP-D20, Mission Report, Southern United States, 2020** — different country, different year.

A second file lives at release_1/dow-uap-d20-mission-report-southern-united-states-2023.pdf that is byte-identical to the Iraq-labeled file (same md5).

The README on the live site mentions a rename happened, but never says what changed. The country and year both did.
