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

<tt><b>I only said that this is oral history, coming from the
adoptive daughter of Sihanouk and biological daughter of
Tioulong, the two men named above. She implies that the
regulation imposed in Hanoi in 1947 did not apply for internal
use in Phnom Penh, because Cambodia had been granted exception
"internal autonomy" already beforehand. She says that there was
no time change in November 1953, because GMT +7 was already in
force.<br>
