Note that I have posted a response to that just above here. If you have time, it might be helpful to look some of this up and verify it but the agreement to move Coastal area from Zanzibar to Kenya was dated I believe in October 1963 and the reason for the change in actual names on the ground in late 1963 was well known and well understood.
