It is the old question of whether the date in SA - August 1929 - or the one in SD - August 11th 1931 is definitive! [snip]
I stick to SA as having the prior claim.
I think the dating SD=1931 (and hence SA=1930) should be preferred on the grounds that there are two references to the year in SD, and only one in SA. I assume that's the reason why most people here adopt it.
