Thank you so much for having resolved the question.
May I ask for clarification?
Why three entries and two cancellations?

The "Dictionnaire..." shows two different marks in a lozenge.
Presumably the third mark of 19 May 1849 is a square mark for silverplate.

Hi

I think that marks can be cancelled and another one inscribed in legal registers when the previous one was... broken !
It happens !
