To me the fact the characters don't follow the folds, but rather appear to float over them is a much bigger indictement. (In fact they, both typed and printed characaters, seem to float over the entire backgroun, it's especially obvious if one reverses the colors in the image.

Yes, it's interesting how the characters seem to float, and certainly the characters should follow the folds.

However, all of the obvious metadata bits in the Bomford file point toward a scanner at low resolution:

What I find out odd here is that this seems to point to an A4 size document, but I don't think that Australia's government was using A4 paper back in 1964.

Just a curious question, I'm in no means an expert, but since this is supposedly done in Australia, wouldn't the measurements be in the metric system? (specifically the resolution unit)

Easy, whoever did it was smart to make it, print it out and scan it again maybe?
I could be wrong, but it makes perfect sense..
