Hi, in both cards the applicant’s POR is in Canada (here Vancouver, Toronto in your other card)
In both bottom right fields the agency reads „UJR Mtl.“ Mtl. is a common abbreviation for Montreal, so maybe it stands for this city here as well?)
Just an idea:
(quote) "The United Jewish Refugee and War Relief Agencies (UJR & WRA) was formed in
1939 by a number of Jewish agencies eager to assist the Jews being persecuted in Europe. […] UJR&WRA facilitated the entry into Canada of as many refugees as possible and provided them with assistance upon arrival. […] After the war, UJR&WRA changed its name to the United Jewish Relief Agencies (UJRA) " (source - pdf, will be directly downloaded: Melissa Caza / Organizing Relief: A Review of the Records of the United Jewish Relief Agencies of Toronto, 1938-1953)
Have a nice weekend!

Thank you for your reply!
I didn’t realize I commented on two cards. I’ve seen a few more of these since then, so either there are more of them than I thought or for some reason most of them are in Part 30.
I always thought „Mtl.“ would stand for „Mitteilungen“, but as UJR is a Canadian agency it probably wouldn’t make sense for them to send notifications about missing persons in German.
Have a nice weekend, too!
