Thanks for taking the time to dig up all those great sources to shore up these weak points in our data.  In particular, it sure seems far more likely that these contemporaneous almanacs had things right than that Shanks had after the fact.

I've installed the attached patch removing the extraneous DST entries for Sierra Leone during this period.

For Sierra Leone in 1957-1962, the standard time was defined in the Alteration of Time Ordinance, 1932 (as amended in 1946, renamed to Local Time Ordinance in 1960 and Local Time Act in 1961). It was unamended throughout that period.

Also, the "Standard Times" section of The Air Almanac and The Nautical Almanac in that period did not indicate any DST for Sierra Leone.
