(c) A security interest, however denominated in any law repealed or modified by this Act, which was not perfected when this Act takes effect but which could have been perfected before this Act takes effect by the secured party's taking possession of the collateral under a law repealed or modified by this Act, and which, if this Act applied, could be perfected by the secured party's taking possession of the collateral, may be perfected by the secured party's taking possession of the collateral in accordance with this Act. (d) A continuation statement heretofore filed in accordance with subsection (2) except for having been filed more than twelve months before the perfection of the security interest would otherwise lapse shall be deemed to have been filed in accordance with subsection (2).
