Thanks Duncan! Yes, you're not the first person to say that this chimed with other historians who had observed the shortage and thought it was just a local phenomenon. There's a lot more to be done here (though I'm not sure I'm the person to do it...)

1971-74 - the 'unified Germany' is presumably some of political agenda, possibly from pre-December 1972 before the GDR and FRG recognised each other's sovereignty.

It says 'Rhodesia' rather than Zimbabwe, but there are territories that became independent in 1975 still under colonial rule on it.
