I think this mound (or mounds) in the large crater is a good candidate for the limb peaks:
Note the trio of craters circled in red: They seem to correspond with the craters in red here: Now extend a longitudinal line over the north pole here: And here (north pole marked with 'N'): The peaks are to the east of the line. The crater with the mound(s) is marked with a yellow box on the longitudinal map. |
