JAPANESE OCCUPATION TYPE III

Similar to Type II but with identical Printing Order control number "61386-1" on the front and on the reverse. For unknown reasons some of the Registry Receipts used in the provinces with matching Printing Order control numbers.

We can only speculate that they are remainders of Commonwealth period printed cards used during the Japanese Occupation period.
