Has an example of this envelope been sighted before?

Although the envelope has faults (from frequent handling over many years) it is still
most presentable and contains the set of 12 cards in near pristine condition!

See page 20, Figure 23 of my book "The Semi Official Postcards of Tasmania 1908 to 1969" for a similar envelope.
By the way 14 cards are known from this set. Not sure how the extra 2 cards fit in ? See list on pages 19 and 20.

thanks Mike ... I should have read the literature first! 
Interesting puzzle about there
being 14 different cards in this series ..... Here's an image of all the card titles in the
packet - I think one can assume that the contents are 'as originally issued'.

Can you provide the titles of the two 'other' cards?
