These were ordinary postage and revenue stamps that many UK companies and public organisations overprinted for their own as revenue stamps only.
Once overprinted they weren't valid for postal use except for a period of a few months after the UK government abolished the 2d stamp duty on invoices etc. to allow holders to use up their existing stamps.
