Got it. Thanks for your hard work in untangling the web. I wonder if the first bolt on pitch 2 is original (since not in guide book) and the others(in guide book) pulled? Hmmmm. Chad did a nice job of climbing where you step across at "a" without the benefit of a belayer across from him and pro in the crack as that's a semi unprotected 5.9 move across from "a" traversing up where the non-existent bolts are shown.
Edit. And should the yellow 1 then be a purple 1, The lower case yellow letters denoting PL belays until the routes seperate? I am a simpelton to be sure....

This might help. Chad has clipped the belay anchor at (1).
In the later photo, you are probably mostly seeing the yellow haul line,
instead of the light blue lead line.
Sorry about the confusion of the a, 1, b, 2, c etc.
I could have made the 1 purple to indicate that Beyer added that anchor.
But I was trying to emphasize what anchors to use when climbing Paradise Lost now,
rather than historical stuff about what anchors were placed when
(and b which no longer is there).
So I made the recommended PL anchors yellow numbers.
And the previous PL anchors yellow lowercase letters.
In the new topo, I think it will be:
() = optional belay at the original (1) [a in photo]
(1) = belay that Beyer added, where his route intersects/overlaps Paradise Lost [1 on photo]
remove b on photo
(2) = belay that Beyer added at top of corner [2 on photo]
() = optional belay [c in photo]
