Sorry to dig up such an old thread, but was reviewing this for some useful info and found this post hilarious. Why would you white out or manipulate the tag in such a way? LAD is Luanda, Angola and is obviously altered. Your flight number BA 1435 is a domestic flight (currently from EDI, but could have been different back then). Then amount of editing in that pic is silly considering the flight was taken and limited info is in those codes. A tag originating in Luanda, transiting LHR, IAD (BA 217, easily guessed from remaining non-altered tag), and ending ??? (in USA presumably) certainly would not have the green stripe and look quite different from this. This is just silliness.
