Default 1962P Canadian Maris Variations & Grape-Nuts

Gents -- Thank you for the 2 posts pertaining to leads on possible printers. In addition, the color shots of the 2 GN complete boxes are very impressive.

The 3 Maris variations can be differentiated based on the following descriptions. I'm simply cutting and pasting electrons from NORTHERN EXPOSURE, so even if the MSWord text doesn't completely transfer , I hope you will have adequate information to determine which Maris you picked up.

 English and French letter “j” looks like an “i”
 French text for Home reads “Résidence”
 French text first line reads “Roger fut en tête de L.A.
Pour les circuits (61).”, i.e. “P” in pour capitalized
 Photograph depicts gray-blue uniform
 Cardboard stock heavier weight
