Walt ...
The narrow band sticky wrapper shows "TXP" only. I assume that this is the
lower case "Professional" version. Complicated .....what's the difference
between the "320TXP" and "TXP" versions?
Elsewhere in the deep freezer I have one roll of Tri-X 400 film labelled
"400TX" and one roll of Plus-X labelled "125PX".
I assume the Plus-X is the finer grained film.

Code 400TX, ASA/ISO/EI 400/800. Finally, there's Tri-X Pan, Film Code TX,

with something usable, maybe a little grainy, depending on what you expect,
but good. Tri-X is my second favorite B&W film, right behind Plus-X, of
which there are only three kinds. :-)
