I think ILLUSION is not in Umbra, but rather (based on) the very similar Gill Sans Shadow No.1 (Monotype series No.406, 1936, digital as Gill Sans Light Shadowed), see especially the bottom right of ‘N’.
Very satisfying to see my youthful exuberance noted here. A new rule against the use of sans serif types was initiated after this particular typographic “outrage” – banning the future use of non standard fonts.
