I've just looked a bit further into this and it appears that there are TWO separate funds, with different portfolio's.
The TOTAL shareholding appears to be 201,575,000 GBP + 85,300,000 GBP = 286,875,000 GBP Shares
This is also borne out by an amended figure in Morningstar, showing the TOTAL holdings as 286,875,000 for 'Franklin Advisors, Inc.' (Click on 'Major' and 'Institutions':

The TWO separate portfolios can be found here (both dated 30th September 2024):
