The form parameter is just weird. My findings are:
1 - uses VL for 45, VC for 95, LD for 450, LM for 950
2 - also uses IL for 49, IC for 99, XD for 490, XM for 990
3 - also uses VD for 495, VM for 995
4 - also uses ID for 499, IM for 999

All of these are nonstandard. Why the function's been designed this way is anyone's guess.
