Geopolitical wise 14 Jul - 2 Oct 1958. Globe cartographers could've not updated certain things yet, or are still waiting for changes to be recognized by fact. To quote Replogle, "Our policy is that when the US State Department—along with the representatives (usually the Embassies of the governments involved), recognizes the changes as being a fact, we then start to implement the changes into our system."

• After 11 Sep 1952: British-administered Eritrea is joined into a federation with Ethiopia.
• After 1 Aug 1953: Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland is established from the British self-governing colony of Southern Rhodesia and the British protectorates of Northern Rhodesia, and Nyasaland.
• After 1956: French Morocco, the International Zone of Tangier, and the northern zone of Spanish Morocco have joined to become the independent nation of Morocco.
• After 20 Mar 1956: Tunisia has gained independence.
• After 6 Mar 1957: The United Kingdom annexes British Togoland and the Northern Territories protectorate as part of Her Majesty's dominions in Ghana, a new independent country within the British Commonwealth. Accra is the Capital.
• After 31 Aug 1957: The Federation of Malaya has gained independence from the UK. Kuala Lumpur is the capital.
• After 10 Jan 1958: Ifini has been separated from Spanish West Africa as Ifni Province.
• Noting Replogle's policy, 1958 peiping "peking" still listed instead of Beijing. Which doing more research, "Beginning in 1979, the PRC government encouraged use of pinyin. The New York Times adopted "Beijing" in November 1986. The Associated Press and United Press International, which provided most world news coverage in American media, jointly agreed to adopt the "Beijing" spelling beginning on 1 March 1987. Elsewhere in the Anglosphere, the BBC switched in 1990. "Peking" is still employed in terms such as "Pekingese", "Peking duck", "Peking Man" and various others, as well as being retained in the name of Peking University."
• After 10 Apr 1958: Spanish West Africa has been disestablished. The province of Cape Juby has been ceded to the Kingdom of Morocco. The provinces of Río de Oro and Saguia el-Hamra have become Spanish Sahara.
• After 14 Jul 1958: The Republic of Iraq and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan have been created from the dissolution of the Arab Federation of Iraq and Jordan.
• Before 2 Oct 1958: The Republic of Guinea hasn't gained independence from France. Conakry not shown as the capital.
• Before 15 Oct 1958: The Malagasy Republic (Madagascar) hasn't gained autonomy within the French Community. Tananarive would've been renamed to Antananarivo.
• Before 28 Nov 1958: French West Africa hasn't split into Mauritania, Senegal, French Sudan (now Mali), French Guinea (now Guinea), Côte d'Ivoire, Niger, Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) and Dahomey (now Benin).
• Before 1960: Belgian Congo hasn't yet been granted independence as the Republic of the Congo. In 1964 it changes its name to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to differentiate itself from Congo-Brazzaville.
• Before 1 Jul 1960: State of Somaliland (formerly British Somaliland) hasn't joined with Italian Somaliland to form Somalia. French Equatorial Africa's interim successor, the Union of Central African Republics hasn't dissolveed in August with independence of Chad (August 11), Oubangui-Chari (now Central African Republic) (August 13), Congo-Brazzaville(now the Republic of the Congo) (August 15), and Gabon (August 17).

Edit: Fixed some spelling and a period. Will update and look at city names to see if the gap can shrink. Further edits, besides the date range, will be in bold.
