My 89 UR was a type 1 and that's all that was needed. I'm sure there would be numerous other solutions if one ignored the UR.

 |@47    2    @39    | 1     6     5     | 79   #34    8     |

The 34's can be connected by
r8c2=4 => r9c1<>4 => r9c8=4
strong ling for 3 in r9 => r7c3<>3
also
r8c2=3 => r9c3<>3 => r9c8=3
strong ling for 4 in r9 => r7c1<>4

Thank you, ravel. I have a hard time spotting these when the links occupy the same line, like here.

I think the lion came with eliminating the box/line interactions. once the 89 UR was visible, it was smooth sailing.
