Transition of the Austrian Post to the Reichspost in 1938

Austrian Registered Post Rates (iii)

Vienna to Sweden, dated 4 April. Franked 71 Rpf + 1 Gr; foreign registered fee 70 Gr = 47 Rpf plus 20-gram postage of 25 Rpf makes 72 Rpf.

Dated 4 April. 40 Gr registration fee and 8 Rpf local letter rate, each paid by the corresponding stamp.

Postcard to Czechoslovakia, dated 4 April. Franked 10Gr plus 10Rpf makes 16Rpf. Foreign postage to Czechoslovakia 10Rpf; foreign registration fee 70Gr/47Rpf. Clearly massively underfranked: was the registration label added later, or simply ignored?
