The date for the competition inside is January 1948, so the printing date is probably right. Could the strips possibly be re-prints from an earlier comic?

The guide actually gives dates for the run as follows,
#1 1946_unnumbered to #11_1947.  #1 to 8 are listed as being published by Algar Printing but #9, 10, 11 published by L. Burn.  According to Ernesto's note on #11, this was a company in Newcastle upon Tyne.
#9 is listed as a Christmas issue, so the dates sort of tie up.
I'm pretty sure the strips were originals done for this comic.  The style and content are old-fashioned, as a lot of childrens' comics were in the '40's and before.
I confess to knowing sfa about either publisher :-[
