Hi Allan,
The LMC and SMC are a true enigma. So close, and yet so poorly mapped.
I too have encountered the same problem of incorrect categorising of most of the clusters within both. Dare I say this could extend to ALL the objects within them...
Most sources are contradictory. Making matters more difficult is that there a many, many objects still not noted. I found this out with a sketch I did of a tiny area within the LMC. I've uploaded the sketch below, and you'll see that there are some curiously labelled objects that really challenge their categorisation. I had to go with the sources I had available, but I am only too happy to revise these. Also, the best sources I had listed 13 objects, yet my sketch has some 17, and photos of this area showed these too, so I wasn't seeing things,
I'll have a look myself at a few sources and let you know how I go.
Alex.
