First some background: When Alan Ladd made this movie in 1941, he was a complete unknown and had a relatively minor role. But by 1943 he was a very major star, and so PRC re-released this movie, as if it were a new movie starring Alan Ladd. However, RKO had nothing to do with the movie then, but somehow they ended up releasing it in Argentina, apparently in the late 1950s (based on the paper quality and the printing of this poster). The only thing we can imagine is that Alan Ladd was popular in Argentina after movies like "Shane" (but probably after "Boy on a Dolphin" in 1957), and maybe someone thought that this early movie could be pawned off on unsuspecting Argentinean viewers as a new Alan Ladd movie.
