the section reference to the P.L.&R. is wrong
In addition to the inverted precancel on the scan shown above, I suspect the "hint" about the P.L. & R. (Postal Laws and Regulations) is what is being cited here as an "error". Unfortunately, there are numerous P.L. & R.'s printed on postage indicia for various levels of service, and since some have changed through the years, it's hard to pinpoint what would have been correct without a date of reference.
As for the P.L. & R. as I read it on the above scan, it looks to be Sec. 346.66. I believe it would be wrong and the intended Regulation would have been 34.66. So the error is that the precancel contains an extra "6" before the decimal place.
Here are a few of my old meters and postal stationery cuts that refer to the various P.L. & R.'s used through the years, including 34.65(e), 34.66, and 562, which is what I used to come up with this explanation:
