The primary document is explicitly dated January 16, 1951. The fashion in the attached photograph, specifically the 'Bold Look' wide patterned tie, is highly characteristic of the 1948-1952 period. The subject's stated birth year of 1915 makes him 35 years old in 1951, which matches his physical appearance in the lower photo.

Cape Town, South Africa (location of consular signing) or Leopoldville, Belgian Congo (previous residence).
