Notes from Myanmar feature the names β€œUNION BANK OF BURMA” β€œPEOPLES BANK KF BURMA” and β€œUNION OF BURMA BANK”, is it possible to add these as issuing entities?

Done

I realize the banks I requested are the same bank as the Centrak Bank of Myanmar, just the name changed, should they be kept or removed? At least I think they are

Yes they are, but when name changed we create new entity anyway :-)

I added description with links to all 4 entities

The names used on Myanmar/Burmese circulating coins and notes since independence are as follows:

Notes 1948

Government of Burma                             ဗမာ နိုင်ငဢ ထစိုးရ

Coins 1952-1965, Notes 1948-1949

Government of the Union of Burma  α€•α€Όα€Šα€Ία€‘α€±α€¬α€„α€Ία€…α€― မြန်မာ နိုင်ငဢတော်

Notes 1953-1958

Union Bank of Burma                              α€•α€Όα€Šα€Ία€‘α€±α€¬α€„α€Ία€…α€― မြန်မာ နိုင်ငဢတော် α€˜α€α€Ί

Coins 1966, Notes 1965

People's Bank of Burma                         α€•α€Όα€Šα€Ία€‘α€±α€¬α€„α€Ία€…α€― မြန်မာ နိုင်ငဢတော် α€•α€Όα€Šα€Ία€žα€°α€· α€˜α€α€Ίβ€Œ

Coins 1975-1987, Notes 1972-1987

Union of Burma Bank                              α€•α€Όα€Šα€Ία€‘α€±α€¬α€„α€Ία€…α€― မြန်မာ နိုင်ငဢ α€˜α€α€Ί

Coins 1991-, Notes 1990-

Central Bank of Myanmar                      α€™α€Όα€”်မာ နိုင်ငဢတော် α€—α€Ÿα€­α€― α€˜α€α€Ί

Note that, although Burma was used officially in English until 1989, the equivalent term ဗမာ only appeared on two notes from 1948, all coins and other notes used မြန်မာ, which is Myanmar. Although there was clearly some continuity between these banks, I'd suggest keeping all the different names. The only question is how we represent the fact that the country was called different names in the two languages? The inscriptions are missing from a lot of the notes, so I'll start adding them, as this will help clarify matters.
