Here some notes on this:
1. The goods sold through PX stores are duty free as a fact. This is not a rumor.
2. Wes Loder from Nikon Historical Society says the following about the CPO: "The CPO (Central Purchasing Office) was an agency of the Occupation Armed Forces responsible for coordinating all purchases of goods for the PXs, BXs and Ships Stores. All cameras and lenses (and other goods) had to have the approval of the CPO in order for the stores to stock and sell them."
3. From 1954 on the CPO required the EP mark on goods sold through its stores.
4. "Export Permitted" makes no sense IMHO, since the export was never forbidden. Only the MIOJ et al were required on export goods. The CPO supplies other exchange stores, not only PX stores, so maybe the P of EP has nothing to do with the P in PX. What about "Exchange (store) Purchase" indicating that this product was bought duty free in a military base exchange store.
Best regards Dennis.
