Nice find on the typwriters. Here is one very much like the one I used in college - but it doesn't have a "one" key. But it does have a "zero" key so you wouldn't have to use a small or capital "O" for a zero. Some have one or the other and some have both or neither.

Or could it have been an IBM Selectric

My bet is that the Kenya civil service would be using hand me down Brit office equipment similar to that used elsewhere in the Empah in the 40’s and 50’s.

If I were to attempt a critical analysis of the document, I’d start with the known typefaces of machines in use in
the Indian Civil Service, the East Africa civil service, and possible the South Africa/Northern Rhodesia-Nyasaland Civil Service.

No way would they have the latest office equipment, and typewriters can last for ages.
