Hi Willy,
Sorry for another delay. I was out of town all week and discovered I could not
get to them either.
I uploaded them to another web server and verified I can access them. I also
edited that 80MB file into the individual sticker sheets for smaller file sizes.
http://elecbrick.dhs.org/lego/stickers/
Each sticker is provided in 4 formats: gimp native xcf, windows bitmap (normal
and zip) and png (compression 9).
The sticker sheet 004632 is just life preservers (575-2a). I only applied one
of these stickers to a model. The rest are falling off of the sheet because of
the age of the glue.
The sticker sheet 575-2b is the uniforms. 40% of this sheet was torn away after
I applied two stickers to figs as described above.
The sticker sheet 575-2c had the flags. This one I do not have anymore or
cannot locate if I did keep it.
Canadians were probably given the US and European sticker sheets to keep costs
down so Samsonite did not have to create a special sticker sheet for this
market. Of course, they did make it 5 years later. Oh well.
Hope this helps.
Doug
