Yet another postal history categorization

I have loaded images to the forums and have obtained some inputs, but have not collaborated with members to take the next step: an in-depth study of the monumental postal history of this issue. Here is my latest categorization:

1. Earliest uses. As I have made progress studying the chronological use of each paper, it has become possible for me to tell most of the time the correct printing for a stamp on cover.
2. Rates to destinations within Argentina.
3. Rates to destinations outside Argentina.
4. Modes of postal use (ground, sea, air).
5. Rates by specific air service.
6. Chronological use in reference to WW II (before, during, after), and specifically censured usages.
7. Officials.
8. Postal entires and postcards.
9. Slogans.
10. PERFINs.
11. Other: postal forgeries, insufficient postage, 10c bisected (shown in the GJ 2009 catalog).
