I've looked everywhere for a translation of this and can't find anything. Does anyone know what COPL means for presenting?
I've a feeling it means head down and back to back but not sure.

Head down and back to back would usually be LOP. Ring and ask!

Never heard of that. Is it hand written? Could it say 'Ceph' as in cephalic?

I'm guessing C - cephalic (head down), OP - occipital-posterior (back to back), L - longitudinal lie.
