     Thanks for the confirmation.  I owe a little more
     information.  We are the archives of the pre-1947
     British Department of State responsible for the
     administration of India.  Not the National Archives of
     India, but the superintending authority in London.  We
     ought to be the best source of information outside
     India on what the Survey of India did or did not
     publish, and we have been trying to improve our
     knowledge through contacts with British military survey
     archives.
 
     So far as we are aware, none of 39G/1-16 was published
     before the cessation of civil map publication in 1941.
     39F/1-16, 39J/1-16, 39K/1-16, 39L/1,2,5,6 and 39H/13,14
     all were published.  Wartime military effort in India
     concentrated elsewhere, though I believe 39H/3 appeared
     as an isolated sheet.
 
     The predecessor series, the Punjab One-inch of the
     1880s (dating from before NWFP) allocated quad numbers
     to DGK district, but did not complete the coverage to
     this area before the series was terminated c.1910.
 
     Survey of Pakistan printed 1:63.360/1:50,000 mapping of
     39G/1-16 by 1983, but the whole area lies within the
     Pakistan 'Restricted - Maps not for publication' border
     belt.
 
     Hence the cautious negative of my previous posting.
     Thanks for asking: it's good to be made to check the
     coverage of these border areas.

No, I have no indication that there sheets exist other than the index.
Just a fishing expedition.
