"Also, Kenya was NOT the name of the country back then. It was British East Africa, a British Colony."

I collected stamps as a child. I have almost a complete collection of "Kenya-Uganda-Tanganyika" stamps from the late 1940's with George VI's face on them, and another complete set with the same three countries named on each stamp only with a young Queen Elizabeth's image (after 1953).

If, as you suggest, it wasn't known as "Kenya", why did that name appear on postage stamps from that era?

I think the three countries shared stamps to save money.
