US 1932 3c Violet - What's The Cancel?

These 1932 US stamps have been cancelled with a rather smaller cancel than I've ever seen before. The cancels are all smeared, but as far as I can tell they don't contain any information at all.

They do not appear (at least to me) to be Bicentennial target cancels, which consisted of multiple (four?) rings. I can only see two rings per cancel, while these cancels seem to be significantly smaller than the target cancels. What kind of cancel was this???

Smeared Bulls eyes ?

Well, I haven't seen any bullseye cancels that look like these myself, stalizer.
If you have, please post - I'd be most interested in seeing the design more clearly.

Ok, coffee has now kicked in. yep, no eye in the bull :) Shaky handed 2-ring cancels ? I just went through roughly 100 - 1920's & 1930's covers as I swear I've seen them in my Box of covers but no luck. I have to go back to early turn of the Century to find anything remotely close and all I can see are bulls eye cancels on mine. I'll keep looking.

Thanks, stalizer. I've looked at as many scans of the 1932 issues with cancels as I can possibly find, and I haven't turned up anything remotely like these.

They appear to be two ring cancels with possibly a small design feature.

Perhaps wings or oak leaves???

I would guess you have a haphazard application of an underinked canceller. The top left cancel has evidence of more than two rings, to my eyes. I see enough of the arc of a third ring to convince me that it is there, and I think I see a small arc of a fourth ring, too. But I could be talking myself into that fourth one.

I see (looking at the upper right stamp) two rings with a letter 'D' inside. Possibly a 'B' because of under-inking.

Were there two ring cancels with letters inside at any period of time?

Puzzler, it does look to me like two rings plus a letter. I thought at first an 'R' for 'registered' but now I doubt it. Anyway, if what I see is a capital letter, it's placed unusually high in the inside circle - not in the center but at the top of the circle, which is odd. So now I don't think it's a letter at all.
