FEP 0078272, 273 were used by a BoC rep. to showcase the modified security feature before the issue was released into circulation in May 2005. The BoC may still have those notes in the archives.
FEP 0078340, 341 were found in a mixed brick of FES about 4 months after the original release of the issue. Here are the actual brick stats:

This brick had no white sleeves and was bound with the old style heavy bands.
The notes showcased at the Calgary show by the BoC rep were FEP 0078272, 273. The two notes found in the above brick were less than 70 away. I wonder if these notes could have been test notes as well as inserts.
An e-mail was sent to the Education dept and the reply was that these notes were part of a small group set aside to be used as replacements. FEP, is to date, the only non-identifyable replacements to be confirmed by the Education dept. I believe the above info, including the e-mail replay from the BoC, can be found in the Dec. 05 issue of the CPMS newsletter.
