Hm. The observations you quote are consistent with the <br>
current description in tzdb which uses UT + 08 h <br>
instead of UT + 07 h from 1947-04-01 until various dates <br>
(between 1953 to 1955) in former French Indochina. So <br>
all of Indochina used the same civil time in 1951. <br>
<br>
And then there is the book referenced in tzdb for Vietnam <br>
with positive evidence. <br>

I do not agree with your conclusion. The quote states that Cambodia
people used GMT + 7 between 1946 and 1953, for civil purposes.

Tioulong managed to obtain a status of “internal autonomy”
from the government of Charles de Gaulle. Although many
fields remained under the administration of the French
(customs, taxes, justice, defence, foreign affairs, etc.),
the Cambodian administration was responsible for religious
matters and traditional celebrations, which included our
calendar and time. The time zone was GMT + 7 and no DST was
applied.</span></font><b><span
