the election may be expressed to have taken effect as from a date specified in the election being a date earlier than the date of the election but not earlier than the date of commencement of this section, and, in that case, the election shall be deemed, for the purposes of the Superannuation Act 1922–1969, to have had effect as from the date so specified.
(6.) Where an election is to be so deemed to have had effect as from a date earlier than the date of the election, sub-section (2.) of section 22a, and sections 22d and 22e, of the Superannuation Act 1922–1969 do not apply in relation to the election but the succeeding provisions of this section apply in relation to the election.

       (a) in a case to which neither of the next two succeeding paragraphs applies—the number of units of pension (other than reserve units of pension) for which the employee was a contributor at the date as from which the election is expressed to have taken effect is less than his initial unit entitlement;
       (b) in the case of an employee to whom section 67 of the Superannuation Act 1922–1969 applies or applied—the sum of the number of units of pension (other than reserve units of pension) for which he was a contributor at the date as from which the election is expressed to have taken effect and the number of units of pension (other than non-contributory units of pension) in respect of which he was in receipt of a pension under that Act at that date is
