In this case, there were three original copies, which was partial evidence that the documents should be categorised as bills of lading, rather than sea waybills.
A waybill is similar to that of a courier's receipt which contains the details of the consignor and the consignee, and also the point of origin and destination.
Semi-structured documents (invoices, purchase orders, waybills, etc.) have the same structure but their appearance depends on number of items and other parameters.
