For A233552, I have added a strong warning that the entry is horribly
wrong.

There has been a lot of discussion here.  Could someone give a summary?
What is the correct start of the sequence?  How many initial terms can we
say for certain are correct?

Same question for A233551.

Best regards
Neil
