Default Algiers: WWII question

R.P. stands for Recette Principale, meaning General or Head Post Office. It
is difficult to read the postmark and the dark area on the lower left of the
envelope. Could you post an enlarged view and with less exposure?
for some reason, Paint Shop Pro could not accept the format of the message,
although I thought that .jpg was OK.

Here is a heavily censored postmark by US Army censor but the same
postmark on the upper 2 stamps is partly visible ending in "R. P." and
on the bottom it looks like it ends in "Y". Can anyone tell from these
letters what the origin of the letter is. I can put up a larger scan
if necessary.
Thanks,
TL
