Chris - an interesting cover. I do wonder if it is philatelic as there are too many strikes of the various cachets for a genuine commercial usage!
I have not come across any of the markings applied - they are not listed by John Daynes in his article in FPHS Newsletter 145 (July/August 1977) (p,42) or my report of a further cachet in FPHS Newsletter 155 (March/April 1979) (p.54).
I don't know anything about British Forces in Pakistan in the 1950s, but we had Service personnel (Army and/or RAF) in a number of Commonwealth countries as part of liaison or training activities.

Thanks Mike
May use this one in the journal, agree too many cachets for commercial mail. Something I've never seen any mention of.
There were a couple of other post 1945 items in this package, will post tomorrow, someone may spot something or fill a gap in someone's research notes.
Then disposal time.. Too many items cluttering my desk.
