It would be equally correct to write:

Town Hall, 128-142 High Road, Ilford, Outer Mongolia, IG1 1DD

No, because it makes no sense.

Neither of them are correct. Both of them would get delivered
correctly.

Although the latter would take a few weeks longer.

Actually, since the Mongol empire's postal system was bought out by
Deutsche Post, all its mail gets routed via a warehouse in Rotterdam
anyway, so it probably won't make much difference.
