E. F. Lavender is the name given for the Registrar. The name of the person who signed the document is Joshua Simon Oduya.
The signature on the document appears to be less aged than the document. Look at the folds and you can see that the other type is somewhat faded because of the folding. Whereas, the signature does not and looks fairly fresh.
I wish otherwise .......... but the document may prove to be a fake. :O(
I am not worried about the difference in darkness between a typewriter ribbon and the ink pen used for Mr. Oduya's signature.
I am convinced the PAPER is real - even if a hoax it is much simpler to create this using a typewriter than on photoshop. Just look at the way the text follows the contours of the paper, and the lighting along the page and text.
Some have brought up the number 47,044 as a possible flag. I believe this number is plausible for reasons set forth here.
The hoax/authenticity probability hinges on the ability to verify the official capacities of E. F. Lavender, Mr. Miller, and Joshua Simon Oduya in early 1964 in the district designated under "District".

Well, maybe Oduya was signing on Lavender’s behalf.
Still verifiable either way.
Certainly a lot more authentic looking than the COLB
