Hi to all
As you can see from the scans the Swamp Lily on the right is different form the one on the left.
This was in one of the packets of stamps that my wife purchased from an Australia Opp Shop. She purchased five packets each with about 50 stamps so I have to go through them all. It is definitely missing the colouring. As anyone else seen this. It is not listed in Gibbons or Rennicks
Regards,
Horamakhet

Common in all Australian self adhesives Hora,
there are two distinct die cut formes

The "brands" are Cambec Press and SNP print.

I may be corrected here but Cambec have the three prong point
at the corners IIRC.

Further info for distinguishing:

I think early in their development between the two printers
one used a 175 hole screen, the other 300 hole
for photolithography, this may result in the differing appearances

Hi! Horamkhet.
Your first stamp is a coil stamp. The second one is the standard self adhesive issue.

Have found that your 2005 definitive wild flowers set and the 2007 definitive wild flowers set, are extremely easy to fade. They are totally different in this respect to all other stamp issues that are around the same age group, them being colour fast. Interesting KGV

Your left hand "kiss cut" or "die cut" stamp is Pemara

Here is the backing strip from the coil
indicating the sharp perfed corners.
