I'm afraid that this is from an old manifest. According to Release 91-44,
21 March 1991, "NASA Issues Modifications to Shuttle Manifest" and
Release 91-69, "First Spacelab Dedicated to Life Sciences Highlights STS-40" 
the schedule is

STS      Date    Orbiter    Payload
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 40  24 May  91  Columbia   SLS-1 (Spacelab Life Sciences), GAS Bridge
 43     Aug. 91  Atlantis   TDRS-E (Tracking and Data Relay Satellite), SSBUV-3
 48     Oct. 91  Discovery  UARS (Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite)
 44     Dec. 91  Atlantis   DSP (Defence Support Program)
