Brit Hume just covered something similar to this on Fox News Channnel. He showed the centered address on a document and the focused on the superscripted "th" in 87th Air something or other. The point he brought up is that the "th" was not only superscripted, it was tiny, the letter spacing was narrow, and that it matched perfectly the way Microsoft Word's Times New Roman font handles superscripting "th" after a number. He also said that no typewriter from that period could do that. He said that one of his producers typed the memo into Microsoft Word using the default spacing, margins, font, etc. and it came out spaced exactly the same as the letter.

Actually, I believe that they could. The "font" on the old Selectrics was in the form of a type ball, which was replaceable. They could have substituted the ball at that point in the typing.

That's a ridiculous amount of work to do for a military records doc, though.
