Concentric Crater number 42 in C.A.Wood's list (published in 1978) must be one of the tiny craterlets between Cruger and Cruger E east-southeast of it. On the Hi-Res scan of Lunar Orbiter 4's photograph LOIV-168-h2 there is indeed something noticeable which looks like a Concentric Crater (immediately east of Cruger). See: LOIV-168-h2, near the frame's lower right corner.
