That is possible and did happen often enough, though it is not necessarily typical.

David, I would think they'd stamp, then file the finished photos for future use. Come to think of it, Wouldn't it make sense to store the negs for later printing to reduce degradation?
Also, The typing directly on the paper (modern copy?), lack of date stamps as well as toning is vexing.
I now agree with Jeff, that this is a 1940s- stamp.
