Issues of 1942, 1943, and 1944

The 10c Rivadavia color was changed from red to brown. The most notable addition to the 1935-51 definitives is the 20c Large Cow, or 20cLC1E, shown below right.
Below is a cover showing usage to the United States with paper censorship, typical of the first year after Pearl Harbor. The cover is franked with a single 40c1E, a horizontal pair of the 20cLC, and a contemporaneous 35c commemorative.
The values of the 15c and 20c were flipped in 1942: the 20c Guemes became a 15c stamp, and the 15c Small Cow became a 20c stamp.
The first batch of clay paper issues made their appearance during these years. Only the low values were printed using this paper, and all from typographed plates. Below are examples of the 1c Sarmiento and 5c Moreno. This paper is bright white and feels plastic to the touch.
Below is a censored 1943 cover to Canada, bearing singles of the 20cLC1E, 25c1E, and 5P1E, as well as a vertical strip of three of the 1P1E, for a combined rate of 8.25 Pesos.
