Shestopalov ordered to the pass.. was it on 14-Feb or 14-Mar?

At the end of the article:
--- Quote ---We dug up all the orders for 1959 and each one looks the same. Notice that the sappers are sent to the pass "on the basis of the telephone message of military unit 01662", i.e. telephone messages of the brigade, the higher management of a large formation. This was not the initiative of the commander of military unit 24594 himself, he was ordered from above. Look at the date... I believe that we actually found a smoking gun. Firstly, the very fact that Shestopalov is investigating something at the pass, and secondly... February again. Will they say again "well, this must be another mistake".

And here is the image:
Indeed the date at the end is 14.II.59g.
But just above that, isn't "s 14 Marta" written? That is, 14th of March?
Is this a coincidence or is 14.II. indeed a mistake?
Update: translated image:
(note the translation algorithm has mistaken II. for П = P)

According to his Whois entry, Shestopalov was "on work trips to Ivdel from March 2 to March 13, 1959; March 18-23, 1959; from March 31 to April 30, 1959," those work trips being the search (in the radio grams, "The officers named below shall be deemed to have departed on a business trip.")
I think the 14.11 is a misdate, personally but I don't discount much of anything with this case! Either way, excellent question!!

Lieutenant Colonel M.F. Shestopalov in Ivdel from Mar 2 to Mar 15, 1959. It seems he was flitting back and forth. That reference to February is probably not significant. Also, its not unusual for the Military to be involved in 'Rescue Operations', we have seen it many times around the World.

Quote from the above mentioned article (https://dyatlovpass.com/shestopalov?rbid=1841):
On March 2, an order appears in the order book of the 5th Railway Brigade for personnel:
"The officers named below shall be deemed to have departed on a business trip:
Colonel engineer A.K. Romanenko in Ivdel from Mar 2 to Mar 6, 1959
Engineer-colonel A.I. Svitov in Ivdel from Mar 2 to Mar 6, 1959
Major E.N. Pepelyaev in Ivdel from Mar 2 to Mar 6, 1959
Major S.M. Dorozhkin in Ivdel from Mar 2 to Mar 6, 1959
Lieutenant Colonel M.F. Shestopalov in Ivdel from Mar 2 to Mar 15, 1959
Major A.A. Maksimov in Ivdel from Mar 2 to Mar 15, 1959
Signature: Chief of Staff of military unit 01662 Colonel Chugunov."
It is clear that 6 officers ranked Major and higher are not needed to search 5 students' bodies (4 had been already found). And all of them were engineers from Railway brigade, not scouts. Yes, Shestopalov probably coordinated a group of sappers on Dyatlov Pass. And it's a big question what sappers tried to find there, as the hikers had left all metallic things in the tent, when they fled it. As for the rest 5 officers, evacuation of rocket's remains by railroad seems to be a good idea, isn't it? )

I think the answer to sappers is self evident , it is a other thing that shows nothing was pre planned .
The first four were found but two of that 4 were found under the snow, Zina and Dyatlov. It is in that first ravine or creek that they suspect the rest of the hikers lie. The metal detectors are part of the thinking of how to find the rest of the bodies. When it is highlighted that most of the equipment is still on the tent, they then get the sappers to use poles
It is the the creek the search and another request is put forward for some sort of echo sound, this again is refused as such a thing doesn't exist.
The sappers are called because the suspect the hikers are under the snow where zina is .
