After debugging our code and then comparing the API output to the NARA catalog display, I believe that this is a NARA problem. I filed the report below as a new issue at the NARA Catalog API:

I found two records where the API thumbnail for the first item is broken, but I don't think it's the storage issue you know about. In both of the records below, only object[0]'s thumbnail is broken. However while the other objects have working thumbnails, those thumbnails seem to be one item behind the thumbnails in the catalog.

Comparing the JSON output to what's in the catalog it seems like the first thumbnail in the catalog corresponds to object[1]'s thumbnail in the API/JSON output:

Title: June 22, 1939 Loose Dogs Parent Series: Circulars Relating to Reindeer Herding in Alaska Catalog - https://catalog.archives.gov/id/46750793 JSON - https://catalog.archives.gov/api/v1/?naIds=46750793 NaID = 46750793

Title: Circ. to Owners - 6/26/37 Re: Killing Dogs on Ranges Parent Series: Circulars Relating to Reindeer Herding in Alaska Catalog - https://catalog.archives.gov/id/46750773 JSON - https://catalog.archives.gov/api/v1/?naIds=46750773 NaID = 46750773

In most records, it would be object[0]'s thumbnail that would correspond to the first thumbnail in the catalog.

Thanks for looking into this.

I'm leaving this issue open till I hear back from the National Archives. Because I'm not always right.

NARA staff confirmed problem was at their end. Likely data entry issues. So closing this issue.
