Below is a copy of the letter from His Excellency Ernest Bai Koroma, President of the Republic of Sierra Leone that Arthur Porter received confirming and congratulating him on his Ambassador-at-Large Appointment.

However, you can see clearly here that he was in fact named Ambassador-at-Large and therefor given the privilege of holding a Diplomatic Passport.
