Yes that is a a copy of the IAUC with a request for observations. (confusingly that IAUC covers several diverse object discoveries)
“Could the difference be epoch 1950 for the IAU notification as opposed to epoch 2000 for Simbad”
I was comparing with the FK4 (1950) coordinates for the object in SIMBAD
