You’re not getting it.
There wouldn’t have been control numbers printed on the forms sent out to various hospitals. As final approval of the local hospital registrar’s work, a clerk in the state/county registrar’s office assigns and stamps the certificate number.
And as far as multiple nurses being registrars at different hospitals, that is absolutely a likely scenario. It’s the same for titling cars, each dealership has a title clerk who is a notary authorized by the state (at least here in Texas).
We would take our paperwork to the county office where we stood and waited for 30 minutes while the county clerk quickly reviewed the paperwork and returned to us anything that was in error.
While there, we received a new set of tags and a book of tag numbers. This was in 1986 - 1990 well before that stuff was computerized.

Of course not that's what I said, OR let nurses add the the control numbers to the forms.

You are the one who never gets it. You would not let the control numbers be applied to the BCs until they were ready to be filed into the records, especially not in a manual system of 1961.
When my kids were born there was an office worker who came around and had my sign the birth certificate form. She also asked me if I wanted a social security card and the birth to be announced in the paper.
Nurses don’t have time to do that. There is an administrator at hospitals who do that stuff, just like there are administrators who do the check-in and check-out paperwork.
The local registrar on the birth certificate of “Alan”, born at Army Tripler Hospital, is a military officer. One of the Kapiolani birth certificates posted online has a hand-written note by the “local registrar” saying “Deputy”. And the DOH rules allow for deputy registrars to be appointed at the approval of the state registrar. I doubt that the state registrar would approve every nurse at every hospital as a deputy registrar.
The certificate number was given at the state registrar’s office.
Maybe it was done differently in Hawaii in 1961, than in Tx in 1986 - 1990?
When my children were born, the doctor signed the birth certificate, after we did, and it was sent to the government. We received a copy of the application, which had a number for tracing purposes.
The actual Canadian birth certificates make no reference to that first number, but do have a BC #, and the date filed by registrar.
This wouldn't be so important if zero was an OK, but misguided guy, but it's much worse than that.
Say goodbye to America if you don't stop him soon.
