These are likely a mix of notes given to him for personal use while stationed on Palawan as evident by the note of lawful currency of the philippines note. Some are also likely traded bills or otherwise acquired through card games and the like. The Victory stamps are put on the bills that were returned to circulation when the Japanese occupation ended.
