Question about PD status of a Czechoslovak photograph

Ukrainian National Union (1939)

Hi all. As part of a good article review about the Ukrainian National Union, I have to verify the public domain status of this photograph of a UNO election truck. The PD tag states, per Czechoslovak copyright law, that it should have come into the public domain 50 years after publication, however it does not provide evidence of its original publication; I tried searching around to see if I could find it, but wasn't able. It also doesn't provide an author, nor could I find one. I think it'd be a shame for the article to lose this image, as this is the only photograph of the UNO we have available on commons (the other images are all posters), so wanted to ask here if someone can help verify the PD status of this image. Thanks in advance. --Grnrchst (talk) 08:37, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
