Which manuscript?
edit
The caption for this photo on the Tao te Ching article says "Ink on silk manuscript of the Tao Te Ching, 2nd century BC, unearthed from Mawangdui". The information for this photo itself doesn't mention "Tao te Ching", says "A part of a Taoist manuscript".
Consider how https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoism#Texts lists multiple texts, not just the Tao te Ching, these two captions could be clarified: is this just "some Taoist manuscript", or is this specifically from the Tao te Ching?
The filename does mention LaoTzu / Laozi, which seems to be a vote in favour of it being part of the Tao te Ching?
