The number “2” in the “No.” field at the top would indicate there was only 1 prior copy issued that year in the district.

Do we know that that's what "No." refers to or are we just assuming it?

"No." is obviously an abbreviation for Number--most likely a sequential number since it must be typed.

We are certainly guessing if we assume the Kenyan BC is copied from the Australian BC and not the other way around. The number in the Kenyan "No." field seems more plausible than the number in the Australian "No." field.
