At this point i contacted an expert linenbacker/poster restorer in the US, who told me he could remove all the paint, in fact the photo i posted doesn't do it justice, because that photo was sent to me just before it was completed, the fold lines were air brushed a bit more, they are near invisible now.Here's what the poster looked like before the restoration;  | Very nice poster. 
Yep,that seems to have been altered for use in Belgium.
A common practice back then.
