Should be under ‘British Honduras’, as that is where it was issued.

Issue wouldve been in england though, it was just used at a post office there, as usually actual overseas use would have an overprint

Some countries' postal orders were never overprinted.

It is the datestamp itself that determines their nationality.

I have got unoverprinted ones issued in New Zealand in my collection - & the datestamps clearly denote their issue in New Zealand.

if its not overprinted its effectively the exact same as the mainland issue and should be catalogued as such

Not if is not issued in any of the 4 countries of the U.K..

If it is an issue from outside then U.K., then it deserves to be listed under the country where it was issued.

they are still indistinguishable from the mainland UK issue, a post office stamp doesnt change the fact it was made and issued in the UK

Have a look at these links;

https://www.gbos.org.uk/index.php/Overprint_Postal_Orders/8 .

These prove that British Postal Orders issued outside the U.K. are classed as being issues of those countries, not those of the U.K..
