Argentina Continental Grain Correspondence 5 Pesos covers (3 of 5)

This 7.10 Pesos rate cover has singles of the 5 Pesos, 2 Pesos, and 10c Rivadavia Brown, typographed, and on clay paper. The three impressions of the postmark are smeared and the date is unclear. The cover is likely from late 1944 or early 1945, as are other covers like it in this correspondence. There are six 5 Pesos covers in this correspondence, five of which have this value as the highest on the cover, hence the count of 5 above. Quick links: main page / 5c and 10c / 20cLC, 25c, and 30c / 40c and 50c / Airmail Stamps / 1 Peso / 2 Pesos / 5 Pesos / 10 Pesos
The 2 pesos on this cover is one of the lighter shades of red brown found on some printings of the 2P1E and 2PNGR.
The 5 Pesos on this cover could be a 5P1E or a 5PNGR.
Below is a detail of the least smeared of the three impressions of the postmark. It seems to be a "BUENOS AIRES 20"
