Count every right-handed field as a left-handed conjugate, which reverses its charge and conjugates its non-Abelian representation. The nontrivial local anomaly-cancellation conditions are
The pure anomaly cancels because the two triplets in balance the conjugates of and . There is no perturbative anomaly, and the Witten SU(2) anomaly also vanishes because the three colored quark doublets plus one lepton doublet make four. The mixed gauge-gravitational anomaly is excluded at this stage as requested.
