BTW: most results from a random Internet search on 'costa rica norte 271820.522' indicate that this is the False Northing, rather than the False Easting value.

The country's Instituto Geográfico Nacional also mentions 271820.522 as the FN value, see page 3 at http://www.mopt.go.cr/ign/documentos/Lambert.pdf
