Which one?

Can't believe I forgot to post this:



Here's the white border:



The Schmeling indicates an issue date on the white borders of 1930-1932 since it refers to him as the new champ; he won the title in 1930, lost it in 1932.

Also, has anyone tried to translate the backs? They say: "The most modern and the best assembled colony factory powered by electricity. Careful handling of tobacco. Selected products. Unrivaled manufacture." Seems to support the colonial export theory as well as the use of the cards as pack inserts. My SWAG is that the colony did not have the printing capacity to make the cards so they were made in Portugal and sent to Angola for inclusion in the ciggies to be shipped and sold in Europe, hence the cards turning up from European sellers.
