The Kenyan document is NOT Pica font. It could be Courier font though, the numbers and letters are similiar. Courier was the standard and norm for Typewriters from 1955 forward.

This is Pica font and the #4 is open top.

Pica and Elite (may be similar to Courier) are the two types on the machines I remember using from that time, I am sure there were others. Elite may be similar to courier, but I haven’t done a close comparison.

I didn’t find a font on my computer (quick look) that looks like what you have for Pica, it fact, of the ones I looked at, none had an open 4.

I’m pretty sure the Kenyan document is typed in Elite font. Most typewriters of that era were either Elite or Pica. I know, because I used those old machines.

Look like a good match. The lower case L was used as the numeral 1. Capital O and zero are also the same.
