The Brides Of Dracula ( 1960 ) altered from the Blood And Roses ( 1960 ) Australian daybill. I like the addition of the fangs.
Seeing that there was an official daybill of The Brides Of Dracula printed for New Zealand which appears below, one has to wonder what the reason was for the above poster being produced was.
The Brides Of Dracula was banned in Australia in 1961 on horror grounds.This film was only passed by the Australian censor for public exhibition in 1972.
Original New Zealand release Dracula ( aka Horror Of Dracula ) daybill. The film was banned in Australia so no daybill exists here.
The two above daybils are interesting. The red version has the appropriate distributor credit printed on it while the blue version has the pre circa 1946 and post circa 1966 Universal only credit. Was the blue version perhaps a later second printing of just a case of a printer's error?
Two Australian first release 1962 daybill versions.
An Australian or perhaps New Zealand later printed sfock poster used for a Horror Of Dracula screening.
A New Zealand, most likely re-release daybill poster. You just have to love the depiction of Bogie's face and his claw like left hand.
The above New Zealand daybill with images of Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn would certainly appear to have been copied from a similar image to what appeared on the following original Australian daybill. Not great artwork of Bogie completed here on the W.E.Smith daybill as well.
Call me crazy, but I prefer the New Zealand African Queen daybill! The Australian one does not illustrate the movie well, and Bogart's face is bizarre to me. On the New Zealand one, it is so terrible it is fun!

And also in favour of the New Zealand version the image of Hepburn actually looks like her.
The English one sheet image of Bogart and Hepburn similar to the New Zealand inspired artwork.
The English one sheet Bogart image also was copied on to a late follow up printed Australian one sheet. The Bogart image, one has to say is far superior to the original Australian daybill well below par effort.
Alfred Hitchcock's No. 17 ( aka Number 17 ) Australian newspaper advertisement. I am wondering if this possibly is an image of an Australian daybill?
I base this possibility on the following Let's Be Famous newspaper advertisement being the same image as the actual daybill. Although both the two films were screened at two different cinemas in Rockhampton in Queensland, they were owned by the same owners., Finally the image certainly appears it could be the size off a daybill.
Now I am sure that someone may possibly suggest that the image may be an Adverting block ( AD block ). The three mainly available blocks that were used appear below in the press sheet of the 1949 film Mr. Soft Touch.The closest block that compares to the No. 17 image is the single column ( s/c ) AD block.
I would really like to hear from anyone that would like to comment on if they believe it is a daybill image of No.17, or it is a single column ad block.

Very hard to say but I would guess an Ad Block. I would certainly like to find a daybill if one exists!

Looking closely at the Let's Be Famous images, there are subtle differences in the art/images. It looks like one has been copied from the other which was not at all unusual.
The Black and white lets be famous look more light pictures than the db. TO the original question, I have no idea, but would it be unheard of for an ad block to have the same image as a poster?

Up In Arms ( 1944 ) Original Australian daybill, followed by a 1952 re-release poster using the same design as the earlier Wonder Man re-release poster.
Both the two re-release daybills have the following Distributed By RKO Radio Pictures logo, and also a Simmons Litho Sydney printer's credit. These applications were from the 1950's only.
RKO daybills from the 1940's, as seen below, had the following RKO Radio Picrures logo, along with a Simmons Ltd Litho Sydney printer's credit.

The original full newspaper placed advertisement.
Any other members care to comment? Love to hear your thoughts.
With the above New Zealand daybill you just have to be amazed and wonder how this ever happened.
