Argentina Continental Grain Correspondence 10 Pesos covers (2 of 2)

There are two 10 Pesos covers in this correspondence. This is one of the highest value covers in this correspondence. The rate is 10.15 Pesos. The cover bears singles of the 10 Pesos and 15c "Guemes". The Argentinean postmark is a "BUENOS AIRES 3 V.A. ". The date is unreadable. The cover is from late World War II, 1944 or 1945, when the see-through censorship tape was being used. Quick links: main page / 5c and 10c / 20cLC, 25c, and 30c / 40c and 50c / Airmail Stamps / 1 Peso / 2 Pesos / 5 Pesos / 10 Pesos
Below is a detail of the 10 Pesos from this cover. Notice how poorly registered the two plates are. This is one of the most shifted 10 Pesos specimens I have come across.
Below is the 15c "Guemes" from this cover. The postmark is barely legible, and the cover does not have any back markings.
