I am not an expert either but I used to own an original I bought from Claude Dubois
in Brussels, Belgium 35 tears ago and if I remember correctly it had a page with a
glued on piece of paper. No repro I have seen had this done.

It's not an original.  As mentioned above two important items are missing.

Repro.  You are correct there should be a date on the back .There are paper differences and also some distinct differences on some of the pages as well.
