I am not sure how this might impact the probable forgery, but in the .pdf file the P.O box is blacked out, but not enough to cover up the 34567. After one photocopy this number would not be visible. Photocopying machines, even when set to greyscale do not have the contrast resolution to be able to do this more than once. The only way this might be possible is if the document was put onto a digital scanner, obviously not available in the early 70s.

Blacked out in the very last copy.

Excellent point..if I read you correctly these were first generation copies, the un blackened ones would be originals..?
