First time I've seen this Westminster label variation (which was obviously copied and pasted from that of Dunhill, even down to the two rainbow boxes).
On another front, for some years as a youth I used to get this label confused with the (usually) R&B label Westbound.

In fact, it was because of the former that the latter, early in his career, was mostly credited in films and on TV as Dean Stanton. Ironically, both actors appeared in an episode of "Petticoat Junction" in its final (1969-70) season - "Dean" as a member of a biker gang that stole chickens, Harry as a sheriff on their trail.
