I've dated this set to 1927, but it's just a guess based on the following facts:
Adhemar Canavesi began his career at C.A. Bella Vista in 1925, before moving to Peñarol in 1928. He won a Gold Medal at the 1928 Olympic Games.
José Vanzzino played 23 times for Uruguay from 1913 to 1927. He moved from Bristol F.C. to Nacional in 1912 and played for them through to 1930, winning 9 Uruguayan championships.
Héctor Scarone played for Nacional from 1917 to 1939 except for 3 seasons in Italy with Inter and Palermo (1931-1934). He also won 51 caps for Uruguay and 2 Olympic Gold Medals.

J 6.  J. Vanzino (Nacional)
J 7.  H. Scarone (Nacional)
