Rare trio.
Three different labels were recorded by the Civil Censorship Study Group in 2008. Type L1 is typed, recorded 23OC39 only; L2 is the brown label & we expect the recorded example, of 12JE40, has the text printed in blue as here; L3 is as for the white labels here, recorded 3DE39, which we expect is printed in blue, and 21NO44, which may have the text in blue or black. Unfortunately, they are not listed in John Little's book. (3) (Image1)
