Other messages from Austrailia have indicated that the type 3 situation
there was quite different from the rest of the world. I know of three late
(71, 73, 73) yellow squarebacks within 4 miles of here all with OE yellow
beading. I never saw a type three of any color that came with contrasting
beading.
Can anyone else confirm that contrasting beading was done OE in Austrailia
or anywhere else?
