Need Help Finding Birth Record - Morarp, Sweden

I am searching for the parents of our ancestor, Lars Lundgren, who married Maria Norgren and lived in Backlunda, Lyngsjo, Sweden. In FamilySearch, he is LT54-KS6. It shows him as Hansson but I cannot verify that in Arkivdigital. It also has him born in 1803, which I do not believe. The daughter who is our ancestor is Botilla, born 1829-05-04.

I found him and his family in Arkivdigital, giving his birth as 1796-09-28 (or 23), born in Morarp. He died 6 July 1874, registered in Ahus, per the Swedish Death Index (which verified his birth date and place). I have found him in several household examinations, with children (we did not know about). I believe he and Maria were married 5 jan 1822 in Lyngsjo.

I am trying to find his birth record, but I can't understand the writing or language enough to identify it. I am pasting in a link to the Morarp birth record page which might have it (based on my inexpert search using the birth record link in a household examination).

ArkivDigital: Mörarp (M) CI:2 1758-1830 Image 50 / Page 46

I will also paste in a snip of the record which MIGHT be his birth:

I found a household examination in Svenarum, which may be them - it gives very little information about the parents, even the father's full name.

Can you take a look and see if you can identify the parents more completely?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Oh oops - The people in the household examination, have a son Lars born 1794 not 1796. So not right. I was happily looking up Lars' siblings. You can see I need help on this. The birth record link should get to the right place, if one can read it.

    Now I see another FamilySearch person (with different birth date), purported to be the father of Botilla: LZL1-9CS. There are parents for this person. But the birth date is slightly off (which could be due to handwriting or who knows what). Probably these should be merged (both are married to the same wife), but I wanted to check to see if the birth record confirms the parents.

    The birth record is for a child named Per. The son of Jeppa Andersson and Sissa Persdotter. It doesn't seem to be the person you are looking for.

    This record is a possible and interesting match for your Lars.

    Mörarp (M) CI:2 (1758-1830) Image 49 / Page 45 (AID: v107393a.b49.s45, NAD: SE/LLA/13274)

    It shows a Lars, son of Hans Larsson and Boell Påhlsdotter, who was born on 03/28/1796 when his family was living on the farm Tollarp.
