I loved this - beautiful pencils. We only got our first TV in about 1963, so I don't know much about these earlier TV series, more's the pity. Are there any more TV picture library stories here - I couldn't find any listed?

After some digging I learned O.S.S. was an early offering of Lew Grade's ITC. From WikiZero:

O.S.S. was a Buckeye Productions and Associated Television co-produced wartime television drama series. It ran for 26 half-hour monochrome episodes during the 1957–1958 season and was distributed by ITC Entertainment and networked in the United States by ABC. The series followed the adventures of Frank Hawthorne, an agent with the American Office of Strategic Services, who operated behind Nazi lines in occupied France. Main cast: Ron Randell as Captain Frank Hawthorn Lionel Murton as The Chief Robert Gallico as O'Brien Guest stars included Lois Maxwell, Christopher Lee and Doctor Who villain Roger Delgado.
