Here's the ones I mean:

http://www.archive.org/details/arabiantranslat03burtuoft

This uses the designation arabiantranslat03burtuoft and it is clearly volume 3 of the supplemental nights. Usually arabiantraslat... is used for the main 10 volumes of the nights.

Here:

usually plainliteraltran is used for what is actually one of the main 10 volumes where elsewhere it is used for the supplemental nights.

Here's an example of where arabiantranslat is used for the main 10 volumes:

Here's an example of where plainliteral is used for the supplemental nights:

I believe the two I mentioned are simply reversed. As best I can tell there seem to be 2 scans. In on set of scans supplemental... is used for the supplemental nights; in another set of scans (or labels?) plainliteral is used for the supplemental nights.
