Did LeCun's 1988 paper use hand-designed rather than learned convolutional kernels, and is that the basis for calling 1989 the first end-to-end trained convnet?

Capture: Which appeared first — LeCun et al.'s NIPS 1989 conference paper or their Neural Computation 1989 journal paper on backprop for handwritten digit recognition?

LeCun et al.'s two 1989 ZIP-code papers appeared in a bimodal order: the NIPS conference paper was presented first (Nov 1989), the Neural Computation article was printed first (Dec 1989), and the NIPS proceedings volume only appeared in 1990

Myth ledger: "LeCun's 1988 paper used hand-designed convolutional kernels" — the 1988 hand-designed-kernel ZIP-code paper was Denker et al., not LeCun

LeCun et al. (1989) at Bell Labs made the first practical recognition application of backpropagation — handwritten ZIP codes, end-to-end
