Hi Jean!

Have you noticed if the different signatures come from the same person?
As for the shutter s/n, it's surprising to me. The 5066th made should probably be in 1949? Or these shutter numbers changed too from 1950, when the numbering system was modified? I don't completely understand. What do you think?

Amitiйs. Jacques.
