  (a)   for complementary State orders of transfer corresponding to transfer orders; or

  (b)   for State orders of transfer providing for the transfer of State prisoners from a State to another State or to a Territory; or

  (c)   of a kind similar to Part   V or section   31 in relation to persons:

  (i)   who are State prisoners or are joint prisoners in their capacity as persons upon whom State sentences of imprisonment have been imposed; and

  (ii)   who are transferred to that State in pursuance of a transfer order, a State order of transfer, or both.
