AusReprints has some information on this issue (see https:ausreprints.net/issue/58873). It identifies this as an Australian comic (although it could have been reproduced in New Zealand unaltered as Ernesto suggests). Many Australian comics have information on the printer as a kind of indicia, which doesn't appear in the scan here in CB+ (AusReprints says 'The indicia for this issue is not recorded. The identified publisher might be an associated or parent company, rather than the specific listed publisher.'). Ernesto suggests that a comic in New Zealand at the time would have been priced at 6d rather than 8d - AusReprints has an alternative version of the cover with a 6d price, and with the swinging pirate's trousers coloured blue. Makes me lean to it being the Australian edition, but I reckon there's plenty of room for doubt either way!
