Let's have some talk on the daybills that were printed with and without censor ratings. Are we fairly satisfied that those printed without ratings were for NZ use?
Another example (which I do not have) is Invisible Boy...

Yes. For non Australian use being N.Z. and possibly for some other pacific island destinations.
Three other horror films that were originally banned in Australia in the late 1950's and early 1960's that had New Zealand release daybills printed for are ---
The following are New Zealand daybills that would have been printed for the partnership of Columbia & Warner Brothers and at least with the first daybill they were handling N.Z. distribution of Disney product.
Printed most likely in the late 1960s Printed between 1979 & 1984.
Re: the June 15 conversation- who's banning films in Australia that then get released in NZ? The BEF? Some govt agency? Does NZ have their own film distribution agencies & printers? Or does it all come from Australia? :-? ...thanks.
The Werewolf, The Man Who Turned To Stone and Creature With The Atom Brain were all banned in Australia in the 1950s and not passed for exhibition in Australia until sometime between 1969 and 1971 but the three films were passed for exhibition in New Zealand .
The Werewolf was classified in 1956 with a R16 rating after cuts.
The Man Who Turned To Stone was classified in 1957 with a R13 rating after cuts.
Creature With The Atom Brain was classified in 1957 with a R13 rating and apparently without any cuts.
My question is has anyone sited the daybills that were printed for the New Zealand only releases by Columbia pictures? I am thinking duotone printed styles as I believe I may know the printer's name for one of daybills and the three were possibly printed by the same printer.

Do you have a stockpile of images that you one day hope to use on occasions like this? Very funny though.

Originally banned in Australia the above daybill printed for the New Zealand release in the late 1950's.
The film eventually was passed by the Australian censor receiving a certificate of registration on the 01- 11- 1972 and released after that.
