hilary.owen@manchester.ac.uk I would just add a personal anecdotal note on my encounter with the term Portuguese East Africa for Mozambique. My aunt and uncle both worked as colonial officials in Tanganyika and later in Tanzania in the late 50s and early 60s. They always, even now, refer to Mozambique simply as "Portuguese East". Given that they worked in official gov. capacities - (colonial nursing service and forestry commission) it is likely that the term reflects official documentation of the 50s. Hope this helps.
