Maybe you can get some more information from the family of the original owner of the alblum.

Thats why I assumed that the fleet must have belonged to some high powered types (diplomatic or military) who could facilitate getting them shipped out to Burma.
Unfortunately the only survivor of the original owner of the photographs is his step daughter who says that he didn't like to talk about his time in Burma! So it'll probably remain yet another mystery.
