I wanted to use this in an article for another forum but due to doubts I can't now.

As Vukcevich himself writes in My Chess Compositions, all three composers reached to the same position at about the same time, without knowing each other's problem. Loewenton and Rehm submitted individually the same diagram to Feenschach 16th TT (with capital F, feenschach is after 1971), while Vukcevich was finding the very same matrix simultaneously.

This is a quote only, not the source.

So probably always both problems and all three composers should be mentioned?

For ChessBase, I meant the source
 QUOTE 
Milan Vukcevich, CHM avec 6 pieces Bad Pyrmont, 1996

when it in reality dates from 1960.

Yes, it is so.

 QUOTE 
For ChessBase, I meant the source of the statement that it was published as Milan Vukcevich, CHM avec 6 pieces Bad Pyrmont, 1996

As I wrote, this "source" is only a reprint. The book "CHM avec 6 pieces" is only a collection of helpmates with 6 pieces (I think by G. Lestriguel), which appeared in 1996. I think that "Bad Pyrmont" is an alias, or whatever, of Lestriguel.

Should? What *is* the need?

If you are writing about anticipations or coincidences, there is a need.

If you just want to show a problem, why cite all: one should be enough?

If you are writing about Vukcevic, why drag Loewenton & Rehm into the matter?
(And vice versa, of course.)

If you want to show the idea, again, why cite both diagrams? Cite the one that
has the priority according to Codex -- well, the concept of priority must be there
for some reason ...

If you are writing about priority, again there may be a need to cite all.

If you decide to cite all problems, do not take any shortcuts: the
reader must be able to decide what author(s) go with what version.
I've seen some weird cites of a similar anticipation from 1929
(Stocchi and Hermanson) where it sometimes seems as if it was a co-authored
problem. In this case, don't make it seem as if Loewenton and Rehm might
have been co-authors.

Each author has an undeniable right to be recognized as sole author of his
respective work.

If there is a clearcut priority, the owner of that priority has an equally
incontestable right to be recognized as such.

But a writer has an equal right to do what is right for the text in hand. If
you were writing about Vukcevich, Lowenton & Rehm have no claim on a place in
your text.
