As Graham John recently put it (in another thread):
"You can define a five part extent of Plain Bob Minor as a method or
as a composition of Original, but there isn't much value in doing
either. " and I would say that this applies to the above touch.

Under Classification of methods with two or more hunt bells, the
Council's Decisions  state:
"Each hunt bell is either a principal hunt or a secondary hunt."
As with all comps of New Grandsire of which I am aware, This touch
retains the Treble (No. 1) as the primary hunt in both Grandsire & New
Grandsire (ignoring that it brings rounds at handstroke,) the above
touch has treble as Primary Hunt with no changes lost or gained in any
lead block of either method.
