Here's a earlier postal order form I found inside a first day cover from 1966. If I'm reading it correctly I think it's dated Nov. 1964, not sure exactly what the PS-39 means. Are items such as this even collected by anyone?
We maintain a very large database of US postal forms here https://stampsmarter.org/features/N..._ViewDB.html . Postal forms offer a lot of great postal history information for anyone who is seeking to understand how postal systems operated. In my opinion, these forms should be saved and not discarded.
I agree with Don that in this case for a simple form, PS39 is probably the form identifier. In many cases, however, the whole (P.S. 39 - (11/64)) is the contract number for printing and the contract date.
