hi,

I was quite happy, back then, to be able to relate different counts upto 
symmetry for plane partitions.
In those days, all these sequences were called "symmetric plane partitions" 
without further detail:
see A048140, A048142, A048141, A005987.

I've tried various interpretations over the last hour and none of them
generate the numbers given. However, the numbers given *do *seem to satisfy
the formula, which is essentially ceil(A000041(n)/2).

What I think happened is that the author was aiming at A005987 and missed.
(By the way, I find the title there, "symmetric plane partitions", to be
confusing, but perhaps it is justified by the literature. Comments or
examples would help.)

If this interpretation is true, then the only reason for keeping A095814 is
that it's ceil(A000041(n)/2).
