An MTZ file contains the space group name, space group number, and all the
symmetry operators. Space group numbers such as 4005 are an unofficial
undocumented extension to International Tables rules and shouldn't be used
as reliable information. The name or the operators should take precedence

Does Refmac really rely on the space group number, or it in some
script/interface?
