The hairstyles in number 11 puts it into the 50's, I think. I remember reading that in the 50's a lot of women who modeled nude shaved, as that way there was less of that forbidden pubic hair to show accidentally and then need to be airbrushed away. Famously in the 30's there was a nude by Edward Weston that had a SINGLE "PH" that went unnoticed until publication, and there was a big toorah about it.

Whilst I cant be absolutely sure I am pretty certain that the publication date is as indicated, 1965. I quite accept that the hairstyles look older and or course the picture doesn't have to be current to be published.
Couple of points. First these are European pictures, probably Scandinavian, and who knows what styles were still current in 1965. I remember bouffants being worn at the same time as mod styles when I was a lad (around that time)
Secondly I absolutely agree about the possibility of professional models.
In fact as someone commented (possibly elsewhere on OCC) a ludicrous situation arose in Europe where pubic hair was not acceptable in the Uk so the girls shaved (but kept their legs together) whilst in West Germany shaving was unacceptable as it risked the display of "lady parts".
As a result German nudist magazines had full pubic hair whilst UK nudist magazines had either shaved models or the dreaded obliteration by crude censoring.
