Substantive search-indexed passage inspected; direct full-document retrieval failed or returned blocking/error content.
Burma’s separate currency developed from Indian-rupee circulation through the 1937 issues, postwar currency board and 1952 central-bank succession. The compressed regional link to the continuing rupee/kyat profile is qualified; wartime occupation currency remains a separate unresolved input.
Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V22-054. The parent relationship is supported despite multiple institutional stages. Kyat naming/decimalization remains within the existing Myanmar identity under project policy. Replacement evidence: C1609.
