Billie, thanks for providing a good example with your question.
LCRI 26.3 Earlier Names of Corporate Bodies now subsumed under the heading
for a later name through a "See" Reference covers this situation. My source
at LC's Cataloging Policy and Support Office says that there are many of
these 410 references in the database reflecting an earlier practice, and
that libraries working with older materials are the ones most likely to
encounter them.
If an item in hand needs to use the 410 form of name on an existing record,
change the 410 to a 510, linking it with $w control subfields to indicate
earlier and later names on the new and existing records. The 667 note may
be deleted. A citation for the item in hand will probably serve as the
justification for the heading and see also reference.
