Just adding the Namus is MP150830 - for some reason Vic's post wasn't coming up in a search that only used the Namus number.

I hope he is being compared to NAMUS UP80853. According to old newspaper articles this UID was thought to be a woman when found, but that must have been changed at some point. Most things fit with James, other than the shoes being released in September of 1990.

Sorry, I meant Sept of 1988 on the shoes, but can't edit the post.
