Meanwhile I found the following comment in asm/80.asm of nonpareil:

Quote:; The code from the patent may not match released code in actual HP-80
; calculators. It does not match the interest rate calculation code
; listed in Figure 3 of the article "A Pocket-Sized Answer Machine for
; Business and Finance" in the May 1973 issue of the Hewlett-Packard
; Journal. The patent application was filed on October 7, 1972, so
; the code in the Journal code might be more recent.

Obviously I'm not the first to notice this discrepancy.
