Nope. AFAICT, registrations at that date were done under the 8/95
template which referenced a number of RFCs, NOT including 2050. 2050
was not referenced until ARIN's 7/97 template, post-legacy.

According to the 8/95 template, the most relevant controlling document
at the time was RFC 1466. It described practices intended to apply to
allocations made subsequent to 5/1993.

This language was new to RFC 2050. Nothing similar was present in its
predecessor, RFC 1466.
