The information regarding the shift of the gatha days applies to both calendars:
1006 Mar 151 Far 3752,088,573361,745 ($ + 5365)

Continuing with the subtraction of 120-year units:
891 Mar 141 Far 2602,046,568403,750 (# + 243,830)
771 Mar 141 Far 1402,002,738447,580 (# + 343,830)
651 Mar 141 Far 201,958,908491,410 (# + 443,830) &

Finally, subtract 19 more of the 365-day years to reach the year 1 A.Y.

Persian Mobile Calendar
The Persian Mobile calendar, associated with the Era of Yazdagird, is important for several reasons:
It is a historical link between the early Persian solar calendars, which employ a vague year, such as the Zoroastrian calendar, and later Persian calendars, such as the Persian Solar.
It was used side by side with several other important calendars in Persia for centuries. These calendars include the Islamic lunar and the Jalali calendars.
Disputes over the structure and epoch of the calendar gave rise to several other Persian calendars, including the Jalali and the several later sectarian Zoroastrian calendars used both in Persia and India by the Parsis.

9.8.2.1.1
Structural Details
The Persian Mobile calendar is relatively simple, consisting of 12 months of 30 days and an epagomenal period of five days, making a vague year of 365 days.
